Regents dismiss ELECTION WATCH School for the Deaf FOLLOW THE RACE ON TWITTER AT #IACAUCUS teacher The state Board of Regents voted unanimously Monday to ter- minate Iowa School for the Deaf physical-education teacher Karen Lechner. Regent President David Miles said at the meeting the School for the Deaf Superintendent Jeanne Prickett recommended in April to end Lechner’s contract because of a lack of funds. Lechner, who made about $50,000 in 2010, then requested a private hearing before the regents. Lechner is one of five School for the Deaf teachers who received “reduction in force” notices this year, though she was the only one to request a hearing. Prickett said her institution has seen a roughly 16 percent budget cut over the last two years, and cuts have occurred since 2000. The school cannot raise property taxes as can other state K-12 schools, she said, mak- ing it hard to raise funds in response to decreased state edu- cation appropriations and low allowable growth. “That does make our budget very different,” she said. “There’s no way to find an extra resource.” — by Luke Voelz

Big Ten Network to BOYS OF AUTUMN IN SUMMER CAMP focus on Hawkeyes The Big Ten Network will broad- cast three days of Iowa-related programming, the network announced on Monday. The first “Iowa Day” will be Wednesday. The network will play three Iowa football games, two men’s basketball games, the Big Ten Icon special on Nile Kinnick, and the 10th episode of the Big Ten Network’s Iowa Magazine series. The day will begin at 1 p.m. with the Hawkeyes’ 84-82 double- overtime win over Indiana from the 2003-04 basketball season. Iowa’s 34-27 double-overtime win over Michigan State from the 2007 football season will be broadcast at 3 p.m., and that will be followed by the Iowa Magazine and Nile Kinnick special. At 6 p.m., the Big Ten Network will show the Black and Gold’s 27- 24 win over Missouri at the 2010 Insight Bowl. The men’s hoops squad’s upset of No. 6 Purdue in March will follow at 8 p.m., and the Hawkeye football team’s come-from-behind, last-second win over LSU in the 2005 Capitol One Bowl will serve as the night- cap at 10 p.m. Two more “Iowa Days” will be held later in the summer. — by Seth Roberts Iowa tracksters honored Fourteen Hawkeye track and field athletes have been named MATT LA LUZ/THE DAILY IOWAN All-Americans by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross-Country Coaches High-school Association, according to a release. football players Junior jumper Troy Doris was named to the first team after his train during the fifth-place finish in the triple jump at the NCAA championships annual camp held last week.
