Jodi Ward, PLAEA Speech-Language Pathologist, is being recognized by a fellow staffmember going above and beyond for the success of a special needs child! Jodi has worked on team building, facilitated a large team meeting well, created a shared Google Drive folder with resources for the team, implemented some big sensory components for the student’s school day, and is working quickly to add an augmented reality component to his open house experience this week (to increase comprehension and decrease anxiety) – in addition to her duties as a service provider. Thank you Jodi.

They designed, printed and coiled over 24,000 planners, journals, and portfolios. This was just a portion of what got done this summer. They are a very hard working group that provides excellent service to our districts. Thanks for your support of our districts, teachers, and students.

Business Office staffing plan. Due to the loss of the operational sharing dollars in theamount of $170,000 and with the loss of two school districts that we were providingbusiness management services to: Albert City-Truesdale CSD, $30,000, and North KossuthCSD, $30,000, it is necessary to reduce staff in the business office.

o Factors being considered in making this decision;

WITNESSETH: Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the premises (hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”) comprising approximately (TENANT #1) 2,057 gross rentable square feet in Storm Lake, Iowa, the address of which is 824 Flindt Drive, Storm Lake, Iowa 50588 (hereinafter referred to as the “Building”) as shown on Exhibit 1 attached hereto, together with all present and future easements, additions, improvements and other rights appurtenant thereto, subject to the covenants, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises for the following purposes: only for office space for its employees and for conducting seminars, training, counseling, and activities directly incidental to the purpose of its organization as provided by law or its corporate charter (hereinafter referred to as “Permitted Use”). Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises for no other purposes whatever without the prior written consent of Lessor. In consideration thereof, Lessor and Lessee covenant and agree as follows:

1. TERM AND OCCUPANCY.

a. The term of this Lease shall be for five years (5) years (hereinafter referred to as the “Term”) and shall commence on July 1, 2014 (hereinafter referred to as the “Commencement Date”) and shall terminate June 30, 2019 five (5) years from the Commencement Date (hereinafter referred to as the “Termination Date”), unless sooner terminated as herein set forth.

b. If Lessee shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof prior to the Commencement Date, in which event the covenants and conditions of this Lease shall be binding upon the parties hereto with respect to such portion of the Premises as if the Commencement Date had been fixed as of the date when Lessee took possession of such portion of the Premises and Lessee shall pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent as hereinafter defined for the period of such occupancy prior to the Commencement Date at the rate of the annual Basic Rent for Year 1 of this Lease as set forth in Section 3 herein, prorated for such period of occupancy and, if less that the total Premises are occupied, for the proportionate area of the total Premises so occupied. Early occupancy of the premises in accordance with this Section1.B shall not be deemed to accelerate the Termination Date.

c. Lessee agrees that in the event of the inability of Lessor to deliver possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date, Lessor shall not be liable for any damages therefore, but Lessee shall not be liable for any Basic Rent or Addditional Rent until the time when Lessor can, after notice to Lessee, deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee. No such failure to give possession on the Commencement Date shall affect the other obligations of Lessee hereunder and the Commencement Date shall then be that date upon which the Premises are ready for occupancy by Lessee and the stated term of this Leasse shall thereupon commence and the Termination Date shall be extended so as to give effect to the full state Term.

Lessee shall take no action that in any way affects its status as an organization described in Section 501 (c) (3) of the Code, or which would subject any income of the Lessee to federal income taxation to such extent as would result in the loss of its tax-exempt status under Section 501 (a) of the Code. Lessee further covenants with Lessor that it is not, to its knowledge, under examination or audit by the Internal Revenue Service, nor has it received notice, oral or written, from the Internal Revenue Service of a proposed examination or audit thereby, with respect to any fiscal year of the Lessee.

Further, Lessee agrees to provide a legal opinion from Lessee’s legal counsel that they are in compliance with this provision of the lease, said legal opinion to be directed to Lessor and furnished to Lessor prior to the commencement of the term of occupancy set forth in Paragraph No. 1 herein.

Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor harmless of, from and against any and all liabilities, costs and expenses of every kind and description (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and costs) that may arise out of or be connected in any way with any alterations or additions.

Rent shall abate in proportion to the non-usability of the Premises during the period while repairs are in progress. If the Premises are made partially untenable as stated above during the last year of the Term, Lessor may terminate this Lease as of the date of the fire or other casualty by giving written notice to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the date of fire or other casualty, in which event Rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and paid to the date of fire or casualty.

d. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Premises or the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the acts, omissions or neglect of Lessee or Lessee's employees, agents, affiliates, servants, licensees, invitees, sublessees or assignees, and if this Lease shall not be terminated by Lessor as a result of such damage, Lessee shall not be released from any of its obligations hereunder, including its duty to repair and restore the Premises, its liability to Lessor for damages caused by such fire or other casualty or its duty to pay Rent (which Rent shall not be abated).

11. EMINENT DOMAIN.

Lessee shall have no right to any apportionment of or any share in any condemnation award or judgment for damages made for the taking of any part of the Premises or the Building.

b. If any part of the Premises or Building is taken by any governmental or municipal authority or by any public utility or other entity having the powers of eminent domain (or shall be transferred, conveyed or assigned to any such authority, utility or other entity by Lessor under imminent threat of the exercise of the power of eminent domain), and the taking of such part shall not be so substantial as to render the remainder of the Building and Premises impractical for the operation of Lessee's business, then Lessor shall repair, restore, and rebuild any part of the Building or Premises damaged by such taking or sale to a condition, as nearly as practicable to a condition substantially similar to that which existed immediately prior to such taking or sale, unless such taking occurs in the last year of the Term, in which case either party may, by written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after such taking, terminate this Lease. If the Lease is not so terminated, however, Lessor shall restore the Building and Premises as provided above. Rent shall abate during the period in which possession of the Premises or part thereof is taken. Rent so abated shall be computed on a per diem basis and shall be that portion of the per diem rent for the whole Premises which the area of that part of the Premises taken bears to the entire Premises.

12. INTERRUPTION OF SERVICES.

Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be liable by abatement of Rent or otherwise for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service, or for any diminution or surge thereof, when such failure, delay, diminution or power surge is occasioned, in whole or in part, by causes beyond Lessor's reasonable control, including but not limited to, repairs or improvements to the Building, any labor problem, inability to secure power or water, any accident, interruptions caused by war, insurrection, civil commotion, riots, acts of God or the enemy or government action, inability of Lessor to obtain fuel or supplies or any act or omission of Lessee or any other party. Such failures, delays, diminution’s or power surges shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction (actual or constructive) or disturbance of Lessee's use and possession of the Premises or relieve Lessee from performing any of Lessee's obligations hereunder, including the payment of Rent.

13. Notices.

8

All notices to be given by one party to the other under this Lease shall be in writing, mailed or delivered as follows:

824 Flindt Dr. Storm Lake, IA 50588

or to such other address designated by written notice sent to the other party. Mailed notices shall be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessor is unable to serve any such notice or demand to Lessee as provided above, a notice or demand to Lessee shall be deemed properly served if posted on to any door leading into the Premises, in which event the notice or demand shall be deemed to have been served at the time the copy is posted.

14. CONDITION AND UPKEEP OF PREMISES.

a. Lessee has examined and knows the condition of the Premises and has received the same in

good order and repair, and Lessee's taking possession of any portion of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that such portion of the Premises was in such good order and repair and that all work to be done on the Premises, if any, pursuant to the terms of this Lease, has been completed in accordance with the terms of this Lease and to Lessee's satisfaction. Lessee acknowledges that no representations as to the condition and repair thereof have been made by Lessor, or its agent, prior to or at the execution of this Lease. Lessee will keep the Premises in good repair, and will keep the Premises in a clean and healthful condition according to the applicable municipal ordinances and the direction of the proper public officers during the term of this Lease at Lessee's expense. Upon the termination of this Lease in any way, Lessee will yield up the Premises to Lessor, in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and will deliver the keys therefore at the place of payment of said rent.

b. At all times during the term hereof, Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, comply with all statutes, ordinances, laws, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all applicable federal, state, county, municipal and other agencies or authorities, now in effect or which may hereafter become effective, which shall impose any duty upon Lessor or Lessee with respect to the use, occupation or alteration of the Premises (including, without limitation, all applicable requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended from time to time, and all other applicable federal, state or local laws relating to

9

people with disabilities, and all rules and regulations which may be promulgated thereunder from time to time and whether relating to barrier removal, providing auxiliary aids and services or otherwise, and with all applicable Board of Fire Insurance Underwriters regulations and other requirements) and upon request of Lessor shall deliver evidence thereof to Lessor.

c. Lessor agrees to maintain all common areas of the Building and the structural components of the Building in good order and repair.

15. MISUE AND SUBLET OF PREMISES AND ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE.

a. Lessee will not allow the Premises to be used for any purpose that will increase the rate of

insurance thereon, nor for any purpose other than the Permitted Use, and will not allow the Premises to be occupied in whole or in part by any other person, and will not sublet the same or any part thereof, nor assign this Lease without in each case the written consent of the Lessor first being obtained, and Lessee will not permit any transfer by operation of law of the interest in the Premises acquired through this Lease. Any such action on the part of Lessee shall be void and of no effect and shall constitute a default hereunder. Lessor shall have no obligation to consent to the proposed sublease or assignment, and Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has a vital interest in the nature, variety and location of lessees in the Building as a whole and that Lessor's right to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting for business concerns and purposes, including whether or not the proposed sublessee or assignee or its business is or may be subject to compliance with additional requirements of the law, including any related rules or regulations, commonly known as the "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990," as amended from time to time, or similar state or local laws relating to persons with disabilities, is a material consideration for the rental rate and terms contained in this Lease.

16. LIENS AND ENCUMBERANCES.

Lessee agrees to pay promptly for any work done or materials furnished by or on behalf of Lessee in or about the Premises or the Building, and Lessee will not permit any mechanic's lien or liens or encumbrances of any kind whatever to be placed upon the Premises or the Building, and in case of the filing of any such lien will promptly pay same, or cause such lien to be bonded over, unless such lien has not been caused by Lessee or one claiming through or under it. If default in payment thereof shall continue for, or Lessee shall not cause such lien to be bonded over, within five (5) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee, such failure shall constitute a default under this Lease and Lessor shall have the right and privilege at Lessor's option of paying the same or any portion thereof without inquiry as to the validity thereof, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be so

10

Should the fair market rental value of the Premises, for the balance of the Term, after deduction of all anticipated expenses of reletting, exceed the value of the Rent provided to be paid by Lessee for the balance of the Term, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay to Lessee the excess or any part thereof or to credit such excess or any part thereof against any other sums or damages for which Lessee may be liable to Lessor.

(ii) Lessor may terminate Lessee's right of possession and may repossess the Premises by forcible entry and detainer suit.

premises to secure the payment of money due under this Lease, which lien may be foreclosed in equity.

c. Lessor may seek damages and payment of Lessor’s reasonable costs, charges and expensed (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel, agents and others retained by Lessor) incurred in successfully enforcing Lessee’s obligations hereunder or incurred by Lessor in any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which Lessee causes Lessor, without Lessor’s fault, to become involved or concerned.

13

23. Bankruptcy.

a. If Lessor shall not be permitted to terminate this Lease as provided in this Lease because

of the provisions of the United States Code relating to bankruptcy, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the “Bankruptcy Code”), the Lessee as a debtor-in-possession or any trustee for Lessee agrees promptly (within no more than thirty (30) days) upon request by Lessor to apply to the Bankruptcy Court to assume or reject this Lease, and Lessee on behalf of itself and any trustee agrees not to seek or request any extension or adjournment of any application to assume or reject this Lease by Lessor with such Court. In such event, Lessee or any trustee may only assume this Lease if (i) it cures or provides adequate assurances that the trustee will promptly cure any default hereunder, (ii) it compensates or provides adequate assurance that Lessee will promptly compensate Lessor for any actual monetary loss to Lessor resulting from Lessee’s default, and (iii) it provides adequate assurance of performance during the full Term of all of the terms, convenants, and provisions of this Lease to be performed by Lessee. In no event after the assumption of this Lease shall any then-existing default remain uncured for a period in excess of the earlier of ten (10) days or the time period set forth herein. Adequate assurance of performance of this Lease shall include, without limitation, adequate assurance of the source of Rent reserved hereunder and that the assumption of the Lease will not breach any provision hereunder.

b. If Lessee assumes this Lease and proposes to assign the same pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to any person or entity who shall have made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of the Lease on terms acceptable to Lessee, then notice of such proposed assignment, setting forth (i) the name and address of such person, (ii) all of the terms and conditions of such offer, and (iii) the adequate assurance to be provided Lessor to assure such person’s future performance under the Lease, including, without limitation, the assurance referred to in Section 365 (b) (3) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be given to Lessor by Lessee no later than twenty (20) days after receipt by the Lessee but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the date that Lessee shall make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for authority and approval to enter into such assignment and assumption, and Lessor shall thereupon have the prior right and option, to be exercised by notice to Lessee given at any time prior to the effective date of such proposed assignment, to accept an assignment of this Lease upon the same terms and conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such person, less any brokerage commissions which may be payable out of the consideration to be paid by such person for the assignment of this lease.

c. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered to Lessor shall be and remain the exclusive property of Lessor and shall not constitute property of Lessee or of the estate of the Lessee within the meaning of the Backruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other consideration constituting Lessor’s property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Lessor shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lessor and shall be promptly paid to Lessor.

d. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be conclusively deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of such assignment.

14

Any such assignee shall upon demand execute and deliver to Lessor an instrument confirming such assumption.

e. Nothing contained in this Section [28] shall in any way constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Lease relating to assignment. Lessee shall not, by virtue of this section, have any further rights relating to assignment other than those granted in the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by Lessee to or on behalf of Lessor under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as rent, shall constitute rent for the purpose of section 502 (b) (6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

24. EXTRA FIRE HAZARD.

There shall not be allowed, kept, or used on the Premises any inflammable or explosive oils, liquids or materials and Lessee agrees not to do or permit to be done any act or thing which will invalidate or be in conflict with fire or other insurance policies governing the Building or its operation, or part thereof.

25. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS RESERVED TO LESSOR.

Lessor shall have the following rights, each of which Lessor may exercise without liability to Lessee for damage or injury to property, person or business due to the exercise of those rights, and the exercise of those rights shall not be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Lessee's use or possession of the Premises and shall not give rise to any claim for setoff, deduction or abatement of Rent or any other claim:

a. Lessor may change the street address of the Building upon thirty (30) days written notice

to Lessee. b. Lessor may install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and on the interior

of the Building. c. Lessor may relocate, enlarge, reduce or change lobbies, exits or entrances in or to the

Building and decorate and make repairs, alterations, additions and improvements, structural or otherwise, in or to the Building, and for those purposes may erect scaffolding and other structures, and during those operations may enter upon the Premises and take into and upon or through any part of the Building, including the Premises, all materials that may be required to make those repairs, alterations, improvements or additions, and in that connection, Lessor may close public entryways, public spaces, stairways or corridors and interrupt or temporarily suspend any services or facilities agreed to be furnished by Lessor, all without the same constituting an eviction of Lessee in whole or in part and without abatement of Rent by reason of loss or interruption of the business of Lessee or otherwise and without in any manner rendering Lessor liable for damages or relieving Lessee from performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. If Lessee desires to have any such work done during other than ordinary business hours, Lessee shall pay all overtime and additional expenses resulting therefrom.

26. TIME OF ESSENCE.

Time is of the essence of this Lease and each of its provisions.

27. PAYMENT OF FEES.

15

Lessee will pay and discharge all reasonable costs, attorney’s fees and expenses that may be incurred by Lessor in enforcing the covenants and agreements of the Lease.

28. SUCCESSORS.

This Lease and all covenants and agreements herein contained shall be binding upon, apply, and inure to the respective heirs, executors, successors, administrators, and assigns of all parties to this Lease; provided, however, that this Lease shall not inure to the benefit of any assignee, heir, administrator, devisee, legal representative, successor, transferee or successor of Lessee except upon the prior written consent of Lessor.

29. NONWAIVER.

No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of Lessor to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such provision, even if such violation be continued or repeated subsequently, and no express waiver by Lessor shall be valid unless in writing and shall not affect any provision other than the one specified in such written waiver and that provision only for the time and in the manner specifically stated in the waiver. No receipt of monies by Lessor from Lessee after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Term or Lessee's right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice given Lessee prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Lessor may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.

30. SURRENDER OF POSSESSION.

Upon the expiration of the Term, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Lessee shall immediately surrender the Premises to Lessor in as good a condition as at the date of occupancy by Lessee, ordinary wear and tear excepted. At the termination of this Lease, all fixtures shall be relinquished to Lessor in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and Lessee shall surrender all keys to the Premises and shall make known to Lessor the combination for all locks on safes, cabinets and vaults. On or before the termination of the Lease, Lessee shall remove its office furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment and all other items of Lessee's personal property on the Premises. Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon demand the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises and to the building caused by any such removal or in returning the Premises to building standard condition. If Lessee shall fail or refuse to remove any such property from the Premises, Lessee shall be conclusively presumed to have abandoned the same, and title thereto shall thereupon pass to Lessor at no cost and with no further action, and Lessor may, at its option, without incurring liability to Lessee or any other person, (i) accept the title to such property or (ii) at Lessee's sole expense, remove such property (or any part thereof) in any manner that Lessor shall choose, (repairing at Lessee's cost any damage to the Premises caused by such removal) and store, destroy, or otherwise dispose of the same.

31. SIGNS.

16

No sign, notice, advertisement or other inscription of any kind, unless specifically permitted by Lessor in writing, shall be put in or on any part of the building, except of such size, form and color as may be first authorized in writing by Lessor. Directory tablets with the names of tenants will be provided by Lessor and Lessor shall also provide a designated area near the street where the Lessee can put their own sign, the size and content of which must be approved by Lessor in advance.

32. ADDITIONAL LOCKS.

No additional lock or locks shall be placed by the Lessee on any door in the building without the written consent of Lessor, first obtained. A reasonable number of keys will be furnished by Lessor.

33. UNLAWFUL USE OF PREMISES.

Lessee will make no unlawful use of premises, and agrees to comply with all valid regulations of the Board of Health, City ordinances, or applicable municipality rules and regulations in Storm Lake, Iowa, as well as the laws of the State of Iowa, and the federal government. This provision shall not be construed as creating any duty by Lessee to members of the general public. Lessee will not allow trash of any kind to accumulate on the premises and will not allow or permit the premises to be damaged or depreciated in value.

Dr. Dave Tilly and the Assessment Task Force,

We have been spending part of our board meetings over the past few months reading John Kendall’s book

Understanding Common Core State Standards. We are in support of the Common Core and respectful of the

state’s position with the Iowa Core. We are however concerned about our state’s latest decision to discontinue

being a Governing State in the Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium. We realize that politically this may make

sense but we worry that the wrong message is being sent to our local districts (and AEAs for that matter) who have

been working hard to prepare our students for this major shift in assessments. Please make sure that Iowa kids

and their future are the focus of your work!

First of all, we believe that assessment in Iowa must be markedly different than it currently is. The application of

knowledge and skills is so much more important to our children’s futures and we know that Iowa Assessments just

don’t measure this as well as other assessments that are out there. We believe in Tony Wagner’s comment from

Creating Innovators; “the world does not care what you know but rather what you can do with what you know.”

Assessments like Smarter Balance and the College Work Readiness Assessment (from the Council for Aid to

Education), as well as other types of critical thinking, problem‐solving and/or analytical reasoning assessments

should be considered very seriously by the Taskforce. The time for change is now!

Secondly, we believe that not adopting these types of assessments will continue to support very traditional

teaching methods. We are just beginning to make great progress with the teachers who are changing their

instructional strategies we and we do not want to go backward. We believe in the saying, “what gets measured

gets done.” Let’s make sure we start measuring the things that will drastically change the classroom experience for

our next generation of leaders, employers, captains of industry, entrepreneurs and decision‐makers.

Thank you for the time and effort you are taking to create a balanced assessment system for the state of Iowa. We

know that these are complex issues and that we do not have all the background information you may have but

please put assessments like Smarter Balance and the College Work Readiness Assessment at the top of your

consideration list. If you have any questions or need stakeholder input, we would be glad to engage in the

conversation. The best way to get this started would be to get hold of our Chief Administrator, Jeff Herzberg, by

phone (515‐570‐2601) or email ([email protected]).
