Iowa public school districts must provide no-cost testing opportunities for families participating in Competent Private Instruction (CPI) Options 1 and 2, as detailed in the Private Instruction Handbook. Districts can contract with Heartland AEA to manage these services, with billing covering materials, administration, additional expenses, plus a 14% fee. For Independent Private Instruction (IPI), families may request an annual assessment from the approved options list in the handbook, pay the AEA directly, and schedule through them. For questions, refer to this flyer and contact Crista Carlile at Heartland AEA.
