(Des Moines, IA) — The superintendent of Iowa’s largest school system could lose his license today (Thursday). Thomas Ahart will attend a hearing before the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners. Ahart is in trouble for violating an order from Governor Kim Reynolds to reopen classrooms. Members of the Des Moines Board of Education have issued a statement defending Ahart, saying he shouldn’t lose his job for carrying out the board’s decisions about returning students to class. Des Moines was in violation of the governor’s order for two weeks – until the district gave parents a choice.
