Pledge of Allegiance requirement law beginning in Burlington schools

The Hawk Eye The new law requiring all Iowa schools to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in class is now in effect, local school officials and students have offered mostly apathetic responses to the new rule.  With the law going into effect July 1, Burlington summer school students have been among the first in the state to participate.   Under House File 847, which was passed and signed by Gov. Kim Reynolds in May, Iowa schools are required to display the American flag in classrooms and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Student are not required to participate if they or their parents don t want them to.   

Graduation ceremonies and May excitement return to Burlington schools

The Hawk Eye A year after COVID-19 forced high schools and colleges to delay or alter their graduation ceremonies, the rites of passage are returning to a more traditional look this spring. Over the next several weeks, friends and families of this year s graduating seniors will gather at various venues to watch as their loved ones receive their diplomas.  Some ceremonies will look much like they did in years past. Others will be similar to the graduations of 2020, when many were moved outside, delayed by months and seating was limited to allow for social distancing. For example, Burlington Notre Dame Catholic High School pushed back its graduation ceremony to mid-July and moved it from its usual location in the gymnasium to the football field. Attendance was limited to parents and grandparents. 

Burlington High School bomb threat causes evacuation

The Hawk Eye No incendiary devices were discovered Friday following a search of Burlington High School that was prompted by a phoned-in bomb threat that resulted in the evacuation of the building. Burlington School District Superintendent Pat Coen said he was notified by Vida Long, an associate principal at the high school, that someone had phoned in a bomb threat at 2:14 p.m. Friday. We are emptying the building, the Burlington Police Department has been notified and the protocols are in action, Coen told The Hawk Eye shortly after ordering the evacuation.  She called me and said, I just received a bomb threat, and I immediately said, Get off the phone, get all of the kids out of the building.
