AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Screen-Time Push Hits Iowa Classrooms: Gov. Kim Reynolds signed Iowa’s “Make America Healthy Again” law, pairing tighter limits on elementary digital instruction (60 minutes/day on one-to-one devices, with exceptions) with new nutrition and fitness requirements—while U.S. Surgeon General Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unveiled a national advisory urging schools to cut back on screens and even return to more paper-and-textbook learning. Local Governance: Johnson County’s first-ever district-based Board of Supervisors election is now a head-to-head fight in District 4, with V. Fixmer-Oraiz and Rod Sullivan pitching housing and public safety plans. Community & Culture: Dyersville’s Field of Dreams ballpark will name its press box for “Voice of the Hawkeyes” Gary Dolphin as fundraising continues. Public Health in Practice: Scott County is using opioid settlement money to expand recovery support through care coordinator roles. Sports & Schools: Clear Creek Amana and North Polk battled in girls soccer; Marshalltown’s girls golf team misses state by four strokes but two individuals advance.
