Abstract
Over the past five years in Iowa, several initiatives have been instigated to address what is perceived to be a lack of quality and equitable curricular opportunities for students in Iowa schools. Some examples of initiatives include: the Iowa Five-Year Plan, the New Minimum Standards for Accreditation of Schools, incentives for sharing and reorganization, and unrestricted open enrollment, along with a movement in revising the state aid formula to "put the money where the students are." It is quite ironic that in a state which has been and still is economically based on agriculture, legislators seem to want to make all rural school districts like their urban counterparts. Thus, we have the issues of curriculum quality and equity in rural Iowa schools.
