One of co-founders and leader of Ankeny for Student Achievement, Steve Boesen said, “We have several issues standing in the way of Ankeny students receiving the very best education that can be provided to them. We want to work with the school board, teachers and school district to solve these problems. All while informing parents and the community about these issues.  We cannot afford to settle for good enough.”
