Highlights from the 2008 Legislative Conference

A record-breaking crowd of more than 200 Association activists studied the upcoming issues, heard from political leaders, and began mapping lobbying strategy at the annual ISEA Legislative Conference, Jan. 11-12, at the Quality Inn and Suites in downtown Des Moines. Topping the list of our legislative initiatives which were unveiled at the conference are raising community college faculty salaries to 25th in the nation, providing funding to make education support professional salaries competitive, and ensuring that K-12 salaries don't lose ground by rolling the teacher compensation funding into the school aid formula.
