The Pleasant Valley Community School District Board reviewed suggested legislative priorities from the Iowa Association of School Boards and approved a slate emphasizing recruitment and retention of a high‑quality teacher workforce, mental‑health supports for students and staff, and PK‑12 funding (supplemental state aid and property‑tax related issues). Director Wagle moved to approve the IASB legislative action priorities and to serve as the district's representative to the delegate assembly; Director Kunkle seconded, and the motion passed by roll call. "Our priorities may differ from other school districts just because of where we're at," a board member said as the group reviewed items drafted by the IASB committee of school boards. Board members discussed licensure, substitute teacher requirements and incentives for staff in hard‑to‑fill areas; they also emphasized ongoing work to increase allowable supplemental state aid (SSA) funding and to expand mental‑health services and dropout‑prevention funding. The board set a submission plan to IASB and noted the need to remain flexible should new items — for example, changes to IPERS retirement rules — arise during the legislative session. Director Wagle was appointed as the district delegate to the IASB delegate assembly; the board said it will identify a backup and notify IASB by the August 18 deadline if the appointment changes.
