Availability of Personal Information on the Web

In response to concerns, we have moved staff members’ personal information (home address, phone number and photo) from our online staff directory to PeopleBox, which requires a password to login. This means that school staff or community members will not be able to access personal information. They will still have access to your professional contact information, but only other Heartland staff members can see your personal information. For business purposes, photos and phone numbers will remain available through the secured PeopleBox site.

Providing home addresses is a positive way to develop a Heartland culture of community. It gives staff members the opportunity to send cards and invitations to co-workers. But we realize that for some, this is not desirable. If you wish to suppress access to your personal information, send your request to Carolyn Jones at cjones@aea11.k12.ia.us. If suppressed, your personal information will not be given out by Human Resources or the Business Office.


We realize many offices keep written lists of personal information available. If you are printing information, be careful, as paper is less secure than our solution.
