Senate File 2360: Guidance for Safe Classroom Learning Environments Released Last Week


On June 29, 2020, Governor Reynolds signed Senate File 2360, an Act, which provides a comprehensive approach to create a safe learning space for students and teachers. 

Last Friday, the Iowa Department of Education released guidance on Senate File 2360 to inform Iowa public school districts of the requirements and to aid Iowa’s school districts in interpreting and implementing this comprehensive legislation. The requirements of Senate File 2360 apply to all public school districts in Iowa and requires a comprehensive approach to create a safe learning space for students and teachers. The requirements are organized around five topics. The first two topics require immediate action by school districts, while subsequent topics require actions of the Department and other agencies. 

Heartland AEA anticipates that we will have ongoing conversations as to how this guidance will impact our work. If you have any questions, contact your regional director or Jadie Boens, Director of Special Programs.
