Board of Directors

[XXX] AEA is governed by a nine-member board (Iowa Code 273.8).

  • Five members represent director districts in our [XX]-county area that are roughly equal in population. They are elected by local school district boards of education and serve staggered four-year terms. 

Four members are superintendents (or a designee) who serve at large. They are appointed by the majority vote of the superintendents of public school districts located within the boundaries of the AEA. They serve staggered four-year terms.

The Board is responsible for approving agency budgets and program plans before they are submitted for final approval to the Iowa Department of Education, hiring a chief administrator and establishing and overseeing education policies for the Agency.

Board meetings are held at [XXXXXXXXXXXX] [on the second Tuesday of each month, beginning at 5:30 p.m.] Agendas are posted at least 24 hours in advance, and the public is always welcome to attend.

Below is a map of the nine director districts in Heartland AEA’s service area and a list of the board members who serve those districts.
