Gov. Reynolds’ April 2 press conference review

DES MOINES - Today, April 2, Gov. Reynolds signed a new proclamation continuing the State Public Health Emergency Declaration. The proclamation orders the closure of schools until April 30, waiving time requirements as long as school districts put in place a continuous learning plan. 
The proclamation also extends closures and limits placed on bars and restaurants, previously identified retail stores, prohibits social gatherings of more than ten people, and continues to ban nonessential and elective surgeries until April 30.
And it extends and expands the previously granted regulatory relief and other measures until April 30. Violating any of Governor Reynolds’ public health orders is a simple misdemeanor.
“I hereby waive the instructional time requirements of section 279.10, subsection 1, and the minimum school day requirements of section 256.7, subsection 19, from April 13, 2020, until April 30, 2020, for those school districts and accredited nonpublic schools that adopt a plan for offering continuous learning and submit it to the Iowa Department of Education by April 10, 2020. 
“Consistent with any continuing learning guidance from the Department, such a plan may offer Voluntary Educational Enrichment Opportunities or provide Required Educational Services and must be submitted through the Consolidated Accountability and Support Application (CASA) system.”
