    2025 FB Parking Selection

    Footprint is same, but pushing donors further back. I was Cardinal last year, $750 donation and that got me in C3. Had to up donation to $900 this year to stay at same level but now only options are C1 and C2. It was already a hard decision to up donation level with cost of everything else going...

    Ames High changing conferneces

    They aren't getting out of the Alliance Conference because they aren't clobbering those schools, they are getting out because they are, and because of the travel. Norwalk, DCG, Indianola and to a lesser extent Pella and Newton will bring more competition and less travel. Hopefully Urbandale...

    Pro Iowa Soccer - Krause Development

    This isn't a minor league team, they are in Serie A, which is the Italian equivalent to the Premier League. They aren't eligible to play in the Premier League because they aren't an England based club. They had been relegated to Serie B in Italy last year, but got promoted for this season. For...

    Iowa High School BEDS count 24-25

    They are only top 36 in football due to free and reduced number, and football doesn't play in conferences. In all other sports Norwalk and DCG will be like 45 and 46.

    Where are you seeing the new classifications @1UNI2ISU ? Can you link? I don't see new on IAHSAA site, just the ones for this year. Soccer starts in 2 weeks and we still don't have 2025 classifications yet.

    Kelderman also played most of the minutes to backup Heise, ahead of Indrusaitis. Heise sat 9 minutes, Lipsey sat 6 minutes. Kelderman played 9 minutes, so played more than just Lipsey's backup minutes. Nojus played 2 minutes...

    Any CPAs up in here? Estimated tax question

    Depends on multiple factors, our daughter is a freshman, we paid her tuition this year, but our income was too high to claim the education credit. So we did not claim her as a dependent this year, so that she could file and claim that credit. We'll likely do the same next year. It was a net...

    Doesn't really matter if they are growing or not, most schools accept open enrollment, especially for sports. There is a clear transfer portal, especially to the biggest, fastest growing suburban schools. Johnston had 6 transfers start on their state title soccer team last year.
