None publishedIowa Code §256.11 (Educational standards) does not list SEL among adopted academic content standards; Iowa's SEL Competencies (2020, v3 2022 — the five CASEL competencies with age-band descriptors) are Department guidance, not adopted academic standards (Delaware §17 precedent: an enumerating instrument that omits SEL predicts guidance-not-standards).
