Iowa's AEAs Implement New Course Fee Structure

Beginning Aug. 1, 2024, Iowa’s AEAs will implement a new fee structure for professional learning courses. This new structure is being put in place due to funding changes experienced by the AEAs due to legislation (HF 2612) passed during the 2024 Iowa legislative session. The new fees will be for courses entered into the AEA Professional Learning Registration system on Aug. 1, 2024, or after. If a course was set up in the system before Aug. 1, it will carry the previous fee structure. The information below outlines changes in fees for all categories of courses including the new microcredentials category. Additional Details *AEAs may offer courses with additional fees to cover costs related to specific courses. *Coaching for implementation will not be embedded in any course, but it is strongly recommended. Districts may access these supports at the daily rate. *A minimum number of participants may be required for specific courses. Registered participants will be notified if a course is canceled. *Out-of-network fees may differ for educators or retirees (i.e., police officers, private citizens). *All AEA professional learning opportunities are subject to approval from the Iowa Department of Education beginning July 1, 2025. If you have any questions, contact the Professional Learning Department at your local AEA.
