Iowa HSB137 modifies education provisions, focusing on mathematics instruction, civics assessments, and teacher preparation.

Iowa HSB137 introduces changes to education policies, emphasizing mathematics instruction and civics assessments. The bill mandates that schools administer mathematics assessments to students in kindergarten through sixth grade multiple times a year. If a student is identified as persistently at risk in mathematics, schools must implement personalized plans and interventions to support the student until they meet the benchmark. The bill also requires the development of a list of valid and reliable mathematics screeners for teachers to identify students needing additional support.
