    THE SECRETARY OF EDUCATION WASHINGTON, DC 20202 August 18, 2021 The Honorable Kim Reynolds The Honorable Ann Lebo Governor Education Director State Capitol Iowa Department of Education Des Moines, IA 50319 Des Moines, IA 50319 Dear Governor Reynolds and Director Lebo: As the new school year begins in school districts across Iowa, it is our shared priority that students return to in-person instruction safely. The safe return to in-person instruction requires that school districts be able to protect the health and safety of students and educators, and that families have confidence that their schools are doing everything possible to keep students healthy. Iowa’s actions to block school districts from voluntarily adopting science-based strategies for preventing the spread of COVID-19 that are aligned with the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) puts these goals at risk and may infringe upon a school district’s authority to adopt policies to protect students and educators as they develop their safe return to in-person instruction plans required by Federal law. We are aware that Iowa has enacted a State law prohibiting local educational agencies (LEAs) from adopting requirements for the universal wearing of masks.1 This State level action against science-based strategies for preventing the spread of COVID-19 appears to restrict the development of local health and safety policies and is at odds with the school district planning process embodied in the U.S. Department of Education’s (Department’s) interim final requirements. As you know, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP Act) requires each LEA that receives Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) funds to adopt a plan for the safe return to in-person instruction and continuity of services.

Early explorers and Indian traders first penetrated the wilderness. Then the pressure ofwhite settlement caused the government to make treaties with and remove Indian tribes, thus opening a region for settlement. Settlers arrived and purchased land through a sixty-year-old government procedure and a territorial government provided the necessary legal structure for the occupants.
