Districts Can Now Access Required Notifications and Postings from AEA Website

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.

Have you Certified Your Transportation Agreement?

This is a reminder that several districts have yet to certify their Transportation Agreements. Transportation agreements were completed this spring, however several districts still need to certify. (See step 4 of the attached instructions.) If you're unsure if you have certified, please email Jennifer Ugolini, Board Secretary at jugolini@heartlandaea.org or (515) 270-9030 ext. 14441.
