Office Location Update: Agency Exploring Change in Region 1, Always Looking at Availability in Schools

Some of you may be aware that the Agency is currently exploring a potential change in office space within Region 1. This spring, chief administrator Paula Vincent and chief financial officer Kurt Subra have visited with the AC/GC (Adair-Casey/Guthrie Center) and Winterset superintendents to inquire about space within their school buildings for AEA staff. From those discussions, the Agency and Winterset Schools have reached an agreement on a co-location at Winterset Middle School, and the Agency is actively pursuing a potential co-location space within the AC/GC secondary center.

The Agency routinely reviews options available as part of the requirement that AEAs are to give preference to office locations that are in partnership with other education entities. Currently, we share space with DMACC (Carroll and Newton), Southeast Polk and Ankeny.

Staff that may be involved in these changes have been notified and will receive additional information with details about support available for assistance with any office moves. If you have any questions/suggestions, contact your supervisor, Kurt Subra or Paula Vincent.
