Some people are wondering today why so many of the National Polls indicated a different outcome in the president ial poll say there are a few reasons. Early voters tended to support Hillary Clinton. But people who were undecided up close to election day and voted yesterday tended to support donald trump.

Its one little picture on three days in which we were polling. With a margin of error its basically telling yo other issues. It could go within this range, plus or minus 4. 4 percent.

The state of iowa is working to come up with a way to determine which schools are doing well and which ones arent. Its asking for input from educators around the state before a new law fully takes effect next year. And the future of a Small Community in southeast iowa is uncertain after a key thats the goal behind the every Student Succeeds act. President obama signed the law last year. Its a revision of no child left behind. The biggest change is that the new education law gives more power to the states. Students specifically those who attend struggling schools. Under no child left behind districts had to set aside money to provide free tutoring to low income students. It also forced schools to bus kids to higher performing schools if their parents asked. With the new federal law, fewer kids are eligible for free tutoring, and students cant transfer out of struggling schools, unless they did so last year. Kcrgtv9s jordee kalk joined us in the studio. Jordee, whats the timeline for implementing the every child succeeds act will fully roll out next school year. But before that, many steps need to happen. Thats why the Iowa Department of education is Holding Public input meetings across the state. So we have the chance to design a plan that makes sense in the iowa context and the local School Context as well. Iowa needs to set standards for schools with the new law. It also needs to have a way to hold low performing schools accountable. Under no child left behind the schools were failing, now the states will take on that role. The director of iowas department of education explained the act to about 50 educators in cedar falls tonight. He said the new law doesnt eliminate standardized testing, which was a cornerstone of no child left behind. Children in third through eighth grades still have to take math and reading tests every year. Students have to take these tests twice while in high school. 46 45, assessment and testing are critically important but it needs to be in balance. And it needs to make students are doing and where they need support and assessment should in line with whats being taught in the classroom the state department of education says it will take this input to make a draft version of the state law this january. More public input meetings will be held after this. And bruce and beth the final proposal will be made in march. Thanks, jordee. People in one Tiny Community are split down the and thats prompted the county to step in and upcoming weekend.
