Summary
The Monticello Community School District board unanimously approved a contract to transfer state AEA special-education funding to Grant Wood Area Education Agency during a June 11 special meeting; the board also approved routine agenda and personnel items.
The Monticello Community School District Board of Education on June 11 unanimously approved a contract to transfer state Area Education Agency (AEA) special-education funding to Grant Wood Area Education Agency. The motion was moved by Director Schlarmann and seconded by Director Rieken; the vote was 4-0 in favor (Stadtmueller, Schlarmann, Rieken, Amsler).
The vote followed routine procedural business at the board’s special meeting, which was called to order at 6:00 p.m. by Board President Craig Stadtmueller at the high school board room, 850 East Oak Street. Board Secretary Judy Hayen conducted roll call; Directors Schlarmann, Rieken and Amsler were present with Director Norton absent. Superintendent Brian Jaeger and district staff were also in attendance.
Why it matters: transferring state AEA funding to Grant Wood AEA affects how state-allocated special-education dollars are administered and which regional agency will handle certain special-education services for district students.
