Governor Kim Reynolds has announced the full list of what she calls a “Teachers Cabinet” that she says will give teachers a more prominent voice in education policy in the state.  Pella Community Schools welding instructor Sheila Graham is one of the 16 cabinet members.

“The teachers cabinet will present an important forum to discuss how to best insure all students across the state have access to high quality authentic work-based learning designed by teachers and the business professionals together.”

Reynolds says the teachers cabinet will strengthen the direct line of communication between the governor’s office, schools and communities. The first meeting will be January 4th in Des Moines.
