by

The Position:

The Iowa Association of School Boards is seeking an Executive Director. The current director is retiring after serving nine years as the Executive Director of the IASB. The Board wishes to have the successful candidate assume the responsibilities of the position July 1, 2023. The salary range for this position will be: $180,000 to $220,000.

Location:

The IASB office is located in Des Moines, Iowa’s capital city. The Des Moines metro area has a population of nearly 700,000, is a major center of the U.S. insurance industry, and has a sizable financial services and publishing business base. Iowa offers a variety of opportunities to its more than three million citizens. It’s an ideal place to raise a family, especially because the state boasts strong education programs.

Iowa Association of School Boards:

Since 1946, the Iowa Association of School Boards has been committed to serving Iowa school boards and public schools. As a 501c4 nonprofit organization, the association advances the goals of its members through education, advocacy and service.

IASB members include Boards of Education for Iowa’s public school districts, area education agencies and community colleges. In addition to board members themselves, IASB provides important support services for roles that work closely with boards: superintendents, business officials, board secretaries and school attorneys.

School Boards: 1,857 individuals serve on local school boards for Iowa’s 327 school districts. Iowa School Boards govern the education of approximately 485,630 students while overseeing school budgets totaling $6.13 billion. School board members are elected by their local communities in an election held the second Tuesday of November in odd numbered years. Local school boards may have five or seven members. School board members receive no pay. Their reward is the satisfaction they receive from public service.

Area Education Agency Boards: The state’s nine area education agencies (AEAs) are governed by board members who are elected for four-year terms by public school board members. Iowa AEAs are intermediate service units that provide special education, media and educational services to local schools.

Community College Trustees: The Iowa Association of Community College Trustees holds a membership in IASB. Iowa’s 15 two-year community colleges are governed by five-to-nine board members elected by local residents in an election held the second Tuesday of November in odd-numbered years. They are elected to four-year terms.

MISSION: To educate, support, and inspire public school boards in their pursuit of world-class education for all students in Iowa.
VISION: All Iowa school boards demonstrate effective governance practices to foster commitment to a vision of success for all students, bring voice to the needs of the community, and ensure that Iowa public schools lead the nation.
