Van Delivery Guidelines for External Organizations
Overview of Delivery Service
Iowa’s Area Education Agencies (AEAs) offer regular van delivery to public school districts and accredited non-public schools that have purchased the service. This service is an integral part of the AEAs’ mission to improve student achievement.
Occasionally, external organizations request that their materials be distributed through an agency’s van delivery service. We intend to ensure necessary standardization and efficiencies for staff handling distributed items, privacy for teachers and school districts, and compliance with U.S. Postal regulations and the Iowa Code. The following guidelines and procedures have been established to determine an organization’s eligibility for delivery.
All requests for the delivery of materials and information must be entered into the Request for Delivery of Materials Through Iowa's AEAs Van Delivery Service form. Once decisions about the request have been made, applicants will be notified within five business days by someone from Iowa’s AEAs to confirm the next steps.
Please Note: Beginning July 1, 2025, there will be a fee associated with delivery.
