(Des Moines, IA) — The 2024 legislative session in Iowa concluded with a final adjournment early Saturday. Gov. Kim Reynolds laid out her agenda in the Condition of the State with goals to reform Area Education Agencies, continue making tax reforms, and improve education in the state. Education reforms were at the forefront of the 2024 session, with significant changes on the way for AEAs. Beginning on July 1, the new law will give schools more control over how they want to use their funding for AEA services. The law also provides oversight of AEAs to the Iowa Department of Education.
