This morning the Iowa Department of Education announced that Benton Community is one of 39 school districts selected for Teacher Leadership and Compensation plan funding for the 2014-15 school year. Benton Community is one of three school districts in the GWAEA region to be selected for funding joining the Cedar Rapids and Linn-Mar School Districts. There were 146 school districts making application for the funding.
Districts were selected for the first round of funding based on the strength of the application as well as geographic and size diversity. We are very proud to be a part of the first round of districts selected for implementation of a teacher leadership system in the State of Iowa.
