Open Meetings & Public Records Training

Required Training for New Board Members—and a Valuable Refresher for All

Iowa law requires all newly elected and appointed school board, AEA, and community college board members to complete Open Meetings & Public Records Training. IASB makes this simple with a 90-minute session that is:

• Approved by the Iowa Public Information Board (IPIB)
• Tailored specifically for Iowa board members
• Convenient and affordable with multiple training options
• Completed with a certificate of completion

While only new board members or those appointed after July 1, 2025, are required by law to participate, IASB encourages all board members to attend each year. Staying current with open meetings and open records laws builds confidence, ensures compliance, and supports best practices in governance.
