Friendly Reminders About Your 2017-18 Lau Plan

The Iowa Department of Education is providing the following guidance to districts for 2017-18 Lau Plan:

For the 2017-18 school year and in future years, districts and nonpublic schools must keep an updated, accurate, and compliant Lau Plan on file and available for review upon request by the Department, but are not required to submit the plan to the Department annually via CASA or by any other means.

Updated district Lau Plans need to be completed no later than Sept. 30, 2017. To assist with updating your 2017-18 Lau Plans, districts may refer to the Lau Plan Guidance Document. In addition, the Lau Plan Look-fors specify key considerations for each section of the Lau Plan.
