DES MOINES – Republican lawmakers in both chambers have offered their own versions of changes to Area Education Agencies. The Iowa Senate offered to maintain many of the changes proposed by Governor Kim Reynolds, and instead spread them over two years to lessen their immediate impact, according to WHO-13. The Iowa House version is far more modest, and would keep AEA oversight of special education but allow districts to go elsewhere for media and educational services. It would also separate out a proposal to increase base teacher pay across Iowa in a different bill. Both versions were approved by committees ahead of today’s legislative funnel.
