HEART Database to Sunset in Dec. 2020

Heartland AEA has been proud to provide the HEART Database to districts and schools for many years. Times and technology have changed significantly since we initially developed this resource. New tools are available to districts/schools, and the software used to build the database is now outdated and has become incompatible with some common computer operating systems.

Given the progress the state of Iowa has made in making other data systems available to districts/schools and the significant resources it would take to rebuild it, Heartland AEA will sunset the HEART Database on Dec. 31, 2020. If your district chooses to use HEART until Dec. 31, 2020, you can continue the import procedures you’ve been using to date.

School/District Decision Needed by Dec. 1, 2020
Heartland AEA will provide you with an export of up to the last seven years of the data you have in HEART, which you can use to import into a different system. If you would like a data export, contact Truong Dao anytime before Dec. 1, 2020, and you will be provided with the data in Jan. 2021.

Thank you for allowing Heartland AEA to partner with you. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at sking@heartlandaea.org or (800) 255-0405 ext. 14386.
