✏️🍎 Strong partnerships are essential to expanding high‑quality charter school options for students and families across Iowa. From navigating complex timelines to opening safe, welcoming learning environments on schedule, collaboration makes it possible to bring innovative educational opportunities to life. Here’s what Mike Huguelet shares about the Iowa Coalition’s long‑standing partnership with Estes Construction and its impact on charter school communities:

"The Iowa Coalition has been working with Estes Construction as its preferred general contractor since we started our organization. Our experience with Estes has been top-notch from the very beginning. Their relationships with community leaders, municipal governments, and other key stakeholders have been instrumental in moving projects forward. The trust they have earned with zoning boards, inspectors, and city leaders has been critical to working through the inevitable challenges schools have faced throughout the construction process. We have had multiple schools operating on extremely tight timelines and Estes has delivered the keys on-time for students to walk through the doors of a safe, clean, and inviting building every time. We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with Estes and look forward to building many more schools together to serve students in communities across Iowa."
