As previously communicated, Heartland AEA will close the Agency’s Woodside office in Ankeny effective June 30, 2010. Staff members previously assigned to the Woodside office, including Regions 8 & 13, assistive technology and Shelter Care Program administrative staff, will move to the Agency’s Regional Education Center at 6500 Corporate Drive in Johnston. The sound booth currently located at the Woodside office will also be moved to the Johnston REC. The closure of the Woodside office reduces the amount of funds spent on facilities and the overall square footage footprint of the Agency.
Heartland also continues to pursue a new location for the Agency's Newton Regional Education Center, and it is hoped that a final relocation will be completed by August 2010.
If you have any questions about these Heartland facility project, please contact Steve Prall, Chief of Operations, at sprall@aea11.k12.ia.us or (800) 362-2720.
