URBANDALE, Iowa — Urbandale Superintendent Rosalie Daca is under investigation by the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners for multiple alleged violations of professional conduct. KCCI reports public records show the board cites falsifying compliance reports, failing to follow laws, and departing from accepted educational standards. Daca has been on medical leave since Oct. 27.

The case has been referred to the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, which will either negotiate a settlement or set a hearing with an administrative law judge. Officials with the Urbandale Community School District released a statement to KCCI saying:

Urbandale Community School District (UCSD) is aware there has been a finding of probable cause issued from the State Board of Educational Examiners (BOEE) regarding UCSD Superintendent Dr. Rosalie Daca. Dr. Daca is currently out on medical leave due to an extended illness which was shared with District stakeholders on October 27. An interim superintendent was approved and announced by the School Board on November 10th. While the District cannot provide specific comments on these matters due to personnel confidentiality laws, the District believes the findings lack merit, and will work with the BOEE and legal counsel for a fair and expeditious resolution. The District will continue to support Dr. Daca throughout this legal process and remains dedicated to cultivating a safe, caring, and supportive learning environment for all students and staff.
