Thirty-five Iowa high schools are partnering with the Iowa Department of Education to work on solutions to eliminate barriers to learning, including bullying and substance abuse, through the Iowa Safe & Supportive Schools Program.
Iowa is one of 11 states awarded funding by the U.S. Department of Education to measure and improve statewide conditions for learning, including school safety, student engagement, and the quality of the overall school environment.
