Iowa Dept. of Education in need of Updated School Boundaries

NOTE: Paula Vincent, Heartland Chief Administrator, forwarded the below DE request to Heartland area superintendents earlier this week.

The Iowa Department of Education needs to know whether any district in the Heartland area has had a legal boundary change since 2000. The DE is aware of major changes such as dissolutions and mergers; however, land swaps are not always communicated as they are not required to be reported to the DE. The DE now maintains electronic maps of the districts for multiple reasons: spatial analysis, reorganization studies, etc. If your district has had a minor boundary change after 2000, report it to the DE via Jim Addy at jim.addy@iowa.gov or Marcia Krieger at marcia.krieger@iowa.gov; also report to Heartland AEA to comms@aea11.k12.ia.us.
