Marshalltown Business Education Alliance (MBEA) Mission Statement

The Marshalltown Business-Education Alliance is a partnership between the Marshalltown Community School District, Iowa Valley

Community College District and the local business community. We are committed to building a skilled workforce pipeline that meets the

needs of local business and industry through outstanding educational and employment opportunities.

MBEA History• Founded During 2011-2012 School Year

• Response to growing dissatisfaction of the Business / Community with what was or wasn’t happening in the MCSD (Disconnect)

• Original Intent was to provide input and help with execution of MCSD & IVCCD/Marshalltown Community College (MCC) strategic plans

• Established MBEA goals, metrics (seeking measurable results)

• Ultimately wanted to return MCSD reputation to a “District of Choice”
