  • Iowa's Four-Year State Plan for the Strengthening Career And
    IOWA’S FOUR-YEAR STATE PLAN FOR The Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act Revised August 2021 Bureau of Career and Technical Education Iowa Department of Education 400 E 14th St Des Moines, Iowa 50319-0146 cte.educateiowa.gov Executive Summary Under the leadership of Governor Kim Reynolds, Iowa has made significant education, training, and workforce investments through the Future Ready Iowa initiative, with the goal of ensuring 70 percent of Iowa’s workforce has education and training beyond high school by 2025. Moreover, significant reforms to Iowa’s career and technical education (CTE) system have been implemented following passage of House File 2392. Passed and signed into law in 2016, HF 2392 incorporated most of the recommendations of the Secondary CTE Task Force and drove at the goal of ensuring all students have consistent and equitable access to high-quality CTE opportunities. Iowa’s four-year state plan under the Strengthening Career and Technical Education (CTE) for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) builds on these important state-level initiatives and reforms, building on the work to ensure consistent access to CTE opportunities and ensuring Iowa has a robust, skilled workforce. To that end, the Perkins V state plan is a vital component of broader strategy to strengthen Iowa’s education and workforce system, with a specific focus on: • Advancing the Future Ready Iowa goal to strengthen Iowa’s talent pipeline and ensure Iowans have the training and education required to succeed in college and careers. • Establishing a cohesive CTE system to ensure learners can flow seamlessly to the right program, at the right time, with the necessary skills needed on their path to a career.

  • Iowa Legislative Alert
    IOWA LEGISLATIVE ALERT Issue: The Iowa Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition will hold a Lobbying Workshop and legislator visit on February 22nd, 2017. Points of Contact: Using the list attached to this alert, along with the action alert, contact your elected Representative and Senator. Others that are helpful to contact: • House Speaker: Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake: linda.upmeyer@legis.iowa.gov • House Majority Leader: Chris Hagenow, R-Windsor Heights: chris.hagenow@legis.iowa.gov • House Minority Leader: Mark Smith, D-Marshalltown: mark.smith@legis.iowa.gov • Senate President: Jack Whitver, R-Ankeny: jack.whitver@legis.iowa.gov • Senate Majority Leader: Bill Dix, R-Shell Rock: bill.dix@legis.iowa.gov • Senate Minority Leader: Robert Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids: rob.hogg@legis.iowa.gov Analysis Iowa law licenses dietitians for the providing of nutrition assessment, goal setting, counseling, or advice. There is an exemption in the law for licensed physicians and surgeons, nurses, chiropractors, dentists, dental hygienists, pharmacists or physical therapists that make dietetic or nutritional assessments, or give dietetic or nutritional advice in the normal practice of their profession or as otherwise authorized by law. However there is no such exemption for holistic nutrition professionals. The Iowa Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition will be holding a Lobbying Workshop along with meetings with key legislators. Recommendations We should politely disrupt the legislative day and urge policymakers to consider finding ways to open up the practice of nutrition. Specifically, we should call attention to parts of the law that are anticompetitive, and encourage them to investigate whether licensure of dietetics prevents competition, by creating a monopoly for a single profession.

  • Freedom Starts Here 2018 VOTER’S GUIDE Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’S Guide
    Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC Freedom Starts Here 2018 VOTER’S GUIDE Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’s Guide What’s At Stake In The 2018 Elections Elections matter. We only have to look back a few years to see what the difference is between having a Pro-Second Amendment majority and having anti-gunners in charge in Des Moines. We spent years passing good gun bills in the Iowa House only to see them die in committee in Mike Gronstal and Rob Hogg’s Senate. The Iowa Firearms Coalition (IFC) went to work in 2016 and helped flip the Iowa Senate. What difference did it make? In 2017, Iowa passed the most significant Pro-Second Amendment bill in Iowa history. HF-517 accomplishments include: • Short Barreled Rifles/Shotguns • Permit Privacy • Preemption • Stand Your Ground • Emergency Powers • Capitol Carry • Supervised Youth Handgun Shooting • Permit Renewal Improvements • Uniform Permit Format In 2018, we took the first steps necessary to recognize - under strict scrutiny - the right to keep and bear arms into the Iowa Constitution. These successes only happened “ because of the support and “ activism of people like you! Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’s Guide Not everyone was happy with these improvements in Iowa law. In fact, we saw an unprecedented number of gun-control proposals made in the Iowa Legislature during the last General Assembly. Anti-gun bills included: • HF-2145 Reverts to “May Issue” Weapons Permits • HF-2181 Imposes a ban on private firearm transfers • HF-2180 Extreme Risk Protective Orders • SF-2025 Gun Free Zone Enforcement • HF-157 Semiautomatic Assault Weapon Ban These ridiculous gun-control measures never saw the floor for debate because the anti-gunners didn’t control either chamber.
