This bill establishes new provisions regarding area education agency (AEA) employees' access to student records within school districts in Iowa. It mandates that school districts must grant AEA employees, who provide educational services to students, access to relevant school district records as necessary to enhance the effectiveness of the services they provide.

In cases where there is a disagreement between the school district's board of directors and the AEA employee regarding access to a student record, the bill stipulates that the school district must allow access if directed by either the director of special education of the AEA or the special education director of the school district. This provision aims to ensure that AEA employees can effectively support students by having the necessary information at their disposal.
