leadership, in partnership with families, schools and communities, that
improve the learning outcomes and well-being of all children and youth.

School districts know
they are required by state and federal law to post or send out a number
of notifications to keep parents, teachers, other staff and the public
informed. Districts now have a one-stop-shop they can access to find a
compilation of these required postings and notifications.
Iowa's Area Education Agencies (AEAs) are pleased to add a “Required Notifications and Postings” page to their website where districts can access these important documents.
The notifications and postings categories include:
• Facility
• ESEA Title 1 Part A
• ESEA Title IX, Section 9532
• Human Resources
• Federal
• Business Office
• Students
• Childhood Nutrition
This
online repository will be in a continuous state of modification, and
district personnel are encouraged to provide input on additional items
for inclusion or needed modifications to the existing documents.
Development
of the Required Notifications and Postings was facilitated through the
work of Dr. Clifford Ehlinger, a former Grant Wood AEA executive
director.
If you have any questions, contact Valerie Taylor Hill, Grant Wood AEA public information specialist, at vhill@gwaea.org (319) 399-6824.
The Iowa Educators Consortium (IEC) and the Iowa Association of Educational Purchasing (IAEP) food program have united as AEA Purchasing! Iowa's Area Education Agencies launched statewide purchasing services in 1999. To date, these services have saved Iowa schools and non-profit educational organizations over $100 million dollars! In an effort to streamline statewide AEA programs, all cooperative purchasing responsibilities will now operate under AEA Purchasing. The names have changed, but the goals remain the same:
- Save Iowa schools time and money
- Research products and form vendor partnerships through a competitive process
- Offer a wide range of value added services
- Remain a self-supporting organization and give back to participating organizations through food rebates and funding of statewide projects
- Collaborate with AEAs and school districts to develop synergy that can’t be attained through individual efforts
- Help both large and small school districts acquire quality products and training at an equitable price
All vendor partners, contracts and pricing will remain the same. Visit the AEA Purchasing website for product categories, vendor partners, contacts, how to order and pricing! Subscribe to the monthly newsletters to stay informed.
