A Visit with the Carlisle EA


Carlisle EA co-presidents, Bill Fink (left) and Ben Barry (right) were two of the Carlisle EA leaders that came out on a cold December morning to greet me with bagels and coffee in the Carlisle High School Media Center on Tuesday, December 6th. I had an opportunity to share with members concerns that I've heard from their colleagues from my travels around the state. Carlisle EA members shared their concerns of the volume of additional assessments and having to spend so much time away from their family and community responsibilities to complete the added work.


Bill Fink (center) was able to take Association leave for a 1/2 day to serve as my host and tour guide throughout the district. Here Bill is pictured with two awesome EA teacher/leaders Mike Giesler (left) and Leah Heideman (right). Team ISEA knows you are working harder then ever before to provide challenging opportunities for all of Iowa students. Thanks for all you do!
