Officials with the Iowa Public Information Board (IPIB), this past week, dismissed a complaint filed by a patron of the Red Oak Community School District, that alleged the district failed to provide adequate notice for a meeting of its School Improvement Advisory Committee, or SIAC. According to the Daily NonPareil, the complaint, which was filed by Red Oak resident Margaret Stoldorf, alleged the district failed to provide a 24-hour notice to the media about the meeting, which was held in January.

Margaret Johnson, deputy director of the IPIB, said the state board found a lack of probable cause to move forward with a full investigation of the SIAC concerns. The complaint also brought up other allegations that were found to lack sufficient evidence for additional investigation. The IPIB members voted unanimously Thursday to dismiss the complaint.
