imageIt’s official!  Congratulations to our very own Eric Goranson for his confirmation to the Iowa State Board of Education.  Iowa Governor Terry Branstad appointed Goranson to the board on March 2.  Yesterday afternoon he was confirmed by the Iowa Senate 48-0.

I’m excited for the opportunity that Eric will have to advocate for school choice, local control, public school transparency and parental sovereignty in education.
