August 2016 School Leader Update Now Available

The August 2016 School Leader Update from the Iowa Department of Education is now available. Inside this issue, Director Ryan Wise talks about the particularly busy summer we have had at the Iowa Department of Education, and Attorney Nicole Proesch brings you some important reminders, particularly appropriate to the beginning of the school year.
