IDEA System Will Be Getting an Upgrade, Watch for System to be Down Next Week

In an effort to enhance security for the Iowa IDEA system, an additional security layer will be implemented in March.

This process will take place between March 5 at Noon and March 7 at Noon and will impact the LIVE Iowa IDEA system (IFSP, IEP, IMS and Hearing Module). The Iowa IDEA LIVE site will be taken off line at Noon on March 5 until approximately 4:30 pm. Although the system will be brought back up there will be testing going on behind the scenes and some functions of the system may not work appropriately. This testing will continue until Noon on March 7. It is recommended that users do not try to enter data into the Iowa IDEA LIVE site from March 5-7 as some functionality may not be available (even if the site appears to be online).
