Good Conduct Policy
Appellant
Mike & Lori DeBerg
Appellee
Ackley-Geneva Community School District

Summary

On September 16, 198, Appellants filed an appeal of the Ackley-Geneva Community School District Board's decision to activate a new good conduct policy.

The DeBergs stated that their son was in the sixth grade and involved in the band program. Even though they are parents of a student of the District, the passage of the good conduct policy would not affect their son at this time. As a result, the DeBergs are not "aggrieved" parties under Iowa Code section 290.1.

The State Board has ruled that the accepted degree of "aggrieve-ment," as that term is used in Iowa Code ssection 290.1, is direct and immediate impact from the deicsion, not being affected indirectly or remote. In re Pam Rohlk, 11 D.o.E. App. Dec. 20,22 at n.2 (1994).

The appeal filed by Mike and Lori DeBerg was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
