#	Article Title
1	We need to align our curriculum in different courses with the Iowa Core and add new materials to teach the new concepts. Funds will not purchase materials but rather to integrate the core concepts and new materials.
2	With the requirement that whole grade sharing partners have to negotiate the TQ money, what part of the TQ money should be negotiated? Basic allocation, Iowa Core allocation, or PD money? How much is reasonable to spend with our upper grade student?
3	Can an AEA use Iowa Core Teacher Quality funds to pay for professional development learning experiences that focus on literacy, mathematics, science, 21st century skills etc.? (Hot!)
4	Please help me understand what the stipulations are for the use of the Teacher Quality monies in the roll-out of the Iowa Core; i.e. Does every teacher have to have equal access to the money? Are there guidelines somewhere?
5	Is it your interpretation that the professional development dollars appropriated by the legislature for implementing the Iowa Core be negotiated with the Teacher Quality Committee?
6	Will accredited nonpublic schools receive funding to implement the Iowa Core as well?
7	Are accredited non-public schools eligible for TQ funding as we establish leadership teams for the Iowa Core implementation? How would we go about getting reimbursements for mileage and substitutes as my team attends Iowa Core Training sessions.
