Organization
As of 2020, the Iowa Department of Education consisted of 8 bureaus and works with the oversight of the 11 member Board of Education.[2]
History
The Board of Education was founded in 1857.[3]
In the 2019-2020 school year 93 percent of public school children in Iowa attended school in their neighborhood school district.[4] Prior to 2021, there were only 2 charter schools in Iowa. After Governor Kim Reynolds signed two bills about establishing and operating new charter schools in May 2021, three more were founded in Union, Iowa, Hamburg, Iowa and Des Moines. In 2023, the department received 8 more charter school applications for the 2024-25 School Year, one in Oakmont, three in Cedar Rapids, and four in Des Moines.[5]
Since 2019, the Department of Education has used the Iowa Statewide Assessment for Student Progress (ISASP) since 2023, it has administered the National Assessment of Educational Progress and since.[6] In 2019, the board allocated $2.7 million for school districts and $300,000 for accredited nonpublic schools.[7]
