While many changes were made to K-12 education by the Iowa Legislature this past session, the Pella Community School District doesn’t anticipate major changes related to the bills. Director of K-12 Instruction Lowell Ernst believes teachers in the district had already prepared for the possibility of curriculum changes from lawmakers when purchasing new materials for language arts this past academic year, and that their library already had strong processes in place to ensure materials on shelves were school appropriate. Ernst says the district has had a strong connection with parents as well, and thinks they will continue to excel in academics, athletics, and the arts.
