Iowa HSB219 mandates school districts, charter schools, and innovation zone schools to create an advanced mathematics pathway for students to succeed.

Iowa HSB219 requires school districts, charter schools, and innovation zone schools to develop an advanced mathematics pathway designed to help students succeed in algebra by eighth grade. Students are automatically enrolled if they performed at grade level or higher on the statewide summative assessment in mathematics or demonstrated proficiency in mathematics. Parents or guardians can opt their child out of the pathway. The pathway must include instructional supports such as mathematics activities, additional instructional time, high-dosage tutoring, and small group instruction.
