Agency-wide Information: Kristi Upah Named to Regions 6 & 7 Partnership Director Position

Dr. Kristi Upah, current Heartland Assistant Director of Innovation & Accountability, is the successful candidate in the Agency’s search for an interim partnership director. Kristi will fill the vacancy left by Nina Rasmusson’s resignation, and she will serve the Ames, Ballard, Colo-Nesco, Gilbert and Roland-Story school districts.

Kristi will move to the partnership director role while maintaining some of her current work with the discipline program assistants and her connections to the special education leaders group, however, supervision of those program assistants will shift to other leaders. It was also determined that some of Kristi’s current responsibilities could be successfully reassigned without adding staff.


This reassignment brings Kristi’s great leadership experience to the partnership director role, maintains some stability for the discipline program assistants, adds a new connection between special education leaders and partnership directors and provides the Agency flexibility with resources moving forward.


We appreciate your patience as we make this important transition.
