Requested Action: Input Needed for Heartland AEA Service Decision-Making

As you know, Heartland AEA will be facing challenges with our budget in the coming school years as will all school districts in Iowa. When making decisions about programs and services and the implications for our budget, it is essential for us to have input from districts. At the Superintendent Advisory Committee (SAC) this week, the SAC decided to use a portion of the March Heartland Administrators Association meeting to give superintendents an opportunity to provide input for Heartland AEA decision-making about programs and services. The SAC also suggested that each superintendent gather data from their administrative team prior to this meeting. Partnership Directors will be contacting superintendents to provide instructions for data collection and to offer to assist with facilitation. The Curriculum Network will engage in a similar activity at their March meeting. We are very grateful for the time that local administrators spend in providing us this vital input. If you have questions, please contact your Partnership Director.
