Matt Degner resigns by mutual consent from Iowa City school district

CORRECTION: The resignation agreement was approved in a 4-2 vote with Mitch Lingo and Audrey Moeller opposed. The Gazette initially misreported the vote. IOWA CITY — The Iowa City school board Tuesday approved the resignation of former district leader Matt Degner by mutual consent amid an ongoing financial crisis. The district will pay him more than $90,000 to leave the district, according to his contract. The resignation agreement was approved in a 4-2 vote, with Mitch Lingo and Audrey Moeller opposed. In his resignation letter — obtained by The Gazette Wednesday through a public records request — Degner said he resigned voluntarily. “I am thankful for my time in the district, and I wish the district great success moving forward. I care deeply about this community and wish you all well,” Degner wrote. At his time of resignation, Degner was the district’s executive director of secondary schools, a position approved by the school board in May in a 4-2 vote, with board members Mitch Lingo and former board member Jayne Finch in opposition. Board member Lisa Williams was not present at the meeting. The board accepted his resignation as superintendent on June 2, a week after they approved hiring him

Our picks for every IHSAA semifinal game in Iowa high school playoffs

Only two weeks remain in the 2026 Iowa high school football season, with the semifinals this week and s tate championship games next week. The penultimate round of the playoffs runs Wednesday, Nov. 11, through Saturday, Nov. 14, in Cedar Falls. Title games will be held Nov. 19 and 20 at the UNI-Dome. We’re back with another round of predictions this week. Throughout the season, we made educated guesses about who would win the 10 biggest games each week. But for the state semifinals, we're predicting all 14 matchups. We went 61-19 in the regular season, and we went 6-4 in our first set of playoff predictions. In the quarterfinals, we went 7-3, bringing our season-long record to 74-26. Here are our predictions for the Iowa high school football state semifinals . Class 5A Ankeny (9-2) vs. Johnston (10-1), Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. The Hawks' defense gets a lot of credit, but this offense has put up 40-or-more points in four of its last five games. When these two teams met in the regular season, though, Johnston held Ankeny scoreless, and if the Dragons play the same way, they'll find themselves competing for a state championship. Johnston 24, Ankeny

Kirkwood Benton County newsletter features Belle Plaine student

Elle Jacobi, a senior at Belle Plaine High School, was featured in the Kirkwood Benton County winter newsletter this month. According to the newsletter, Jacobi began taking classes at Kirkwood as a high school freshman. Her favorite courses have been U.S. History since 1877, nutrition, microbiology and human anatomy and physiology. “I enjoyed the coursework for my history class and I love science,” Jacobi said in the newsletter. Kirkwood instructors make it possible for students to successfully manage college classes while taking high school classes and participating in other activities, Jacobi said. Professor Sophie Joly made the biggest impact on Jacobi, she said. “Her microbiology class was interesting, and she was a very encouraging teacher. Taking college classes in high school helps students develop strong time management and study skills, Jacobi said. “It also prepares them for life after high school by giving them experience with college-level coursework and allowing them to earn college credits early.”

Williamsburg teacher featured in Kirkwood newsletter

Williamsburg teacher Joe Degen was featured in the winter newsletter of Kirkwood Community College’s Iowa County center this month. Degen is social studies teacher for grades 7-12 at Williamsburg Jr./Sr. High School. “At first I wanted it to cover some of my general education requirements,” said Degen in the newsletter, explaining why he took classes through Kirkwood. “Then when I found out where I wanted to go I tried to take them to cover as much non-major stuff that I could.” Degen said in the newsletter that taking Kirkwood classes while he was in high school helped him find more time to take the classes he wanted to take when he got to college. “It also helped me get more general education classes completed so I had more time to focus on my majors (history and education).” Kirkwood’s Michael Jacobsen was a big help to Degen during his time at Kirkwood Iowa County Center, he says in the newsletter. “…[D]ue to his experience as a former social studies teacher, I was able to talk about my career path and a potential four-year plan before I even knew what college I was going to pick,” Degen said. “When I got to
