Reynolds hails AEA law as a promising start in Iowa

Gov. Reynolds called Iowa's newly enacted area education agency reform a phenomenal place to start. She said the bill creates transparency and accountability, shifts most funding to schools in later years, and establishes a deputy division within the Department of Education to oversee AEA services. The law aims to reduce inconsistencies and improve student outcomes while preserving the AEA system.
