The Iowa Department of Education’s mediation team has denied a petition from the Decorah Community School District to be admitted to the Upper Iowa Conference.

News of the team’s decision came July 24, one week after the mediation hearing took place in Cedar Falls. Representatives of the local school district, the Department of Education, the Upper Iowa conference, the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union and the Iowa High School Athletic Association were part of the meditation.

“We remain committed to securing for our students the opportunity to participate in a conference for extra-curricular activities as provided for by the Iowa administrative rules,” said Decorah Community School District Superintendent Tim Cronin.
