Gov. Terry Branstad said Monday he hopes for a good conversation at the summit. If Iowa’s laws need to be changed, they can be, he said.

“This is a significant problem, and we need a serious effort to address it,” Branstad said. “We know it’s going to take the involvement of school leaders, parents and communities. We’re all in this together.”
