Does roll out of the Iowa Core matter based on the size of the school district?
Network members and area education agency (AEA) consultants will work to individualize a plan for every school in Iowa based upon local district and AEA context. DE and AEA leadership recognize the need for multiple points of entry and a variable timeline, but ultimately every public high school and accredited nonpublic high school must develop an implementation plan by July 1, 2010 and every K-8 school by July 1, 2012. Full implementation for high schools is required by July 1, 2012 and for K-8 schools by 2014-2015.
