B. Board Member Development: • Brent Siegrist August Report

C. Advocacy: • I have sent our legislative priorities (attached) to all of the legislators who represent

our area. • Linda Fandel follow up: • My meeting with Linda on August 25 was okay. I spent the majority of the time going

over the document (attachment) that I created with the input of some of the most innovative Supts in the state of Iowa (did you see IowaBIG in Cedar Rapids just got an award for $1,000,000 from some out of state organization for their innovative practices?). I shared that the “questions/barriers” were “speedbumps” not “stop signs” but halfway through my explanations she did stop me and said “so you think we should

http://www.iowabig.org/BIG_WP/

do nothing.” And went on to say that we’re behind 21 other states who already have this requirement…amongst other things. I gave my co-collaborators some feedback and encouraged them all to contact her and others to provide the voice from the field. We will see how it goes.

• I also have asked for dates that we, a group of Supts and a group of PLAEA board members (at separate times) to discuss the issues facing our organizations in the current budget situation. I realize that we’ve been told this is the “new normal” but we do need to continue to address equity and adequacy. If I have the possible meeting dates by the time of our meeting, I will share those to see who would be available and like to go. We’ll then create a plan of action as we will have a limited time.

D. Fiscal Management Conference: Fiscal Truth follow up: • Michelle and I will have a document ready for you on Monday to share in regard to our

financial truth statements that we made at last month’s meeting. As a reminder, the following is what you said would be important for others to know. We will have the information for you to read, digest, share, ask questions, etc… o How important the federal stimulus money was for our budget? And for the state an

opportunity to provide less money to us… o Why we need the money? What are we doing with the money that is allocated to us? o What we’ve done for efficiency and staffing needs in the Agency? o The funding formula in general; How are AEAs funded? (things like no taxing

authority are important for people to understand) o The actual timing of our receivables from the state and how this impacts our

balances o Travel budget expenses; and usage of zoom conferencing o The $15 million cut; $3.75 million cut…how have all of these affected our staffing,

services, etc.?

E. One of the IASB conference keynoters, Fredi Lajvardi, was the teacher of the students in the document Underwater Dreams. We will watch a portion of this video as we get ready for the learning at the convention on November 17. It is a great story about the possibilities of ALL kids! Will someone bring the popcorn?

15. Upcoming Dates – Information Item –

• 2016 IASB Annual Convention November 18th and 19th – Des Moines, Iowa – Who will be attending the convention? Who needs a hotel room?

Witnesseth: Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the premises (hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”) comprising approximately (TENANT #3) 2,314 gross rentable square feet in Storm Lake, Iowa, the address of which is 824 Flindt Drive, Storm Lake, Iowa 50588 (hereinafter referred to as the “Building”) as shown on Exhibit 1 attached hereto, together with all present and future easements, additions, improvements and other rights appurtenant thereto, subject to the covenants, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease. Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises for the following purposes: only for office space for its employees and for conducting seminars, training, counseling, and activities directly incidental to the purpose of its organization as provided by law or its corporate charter (hereinafter referred to as “Permitted Use”). Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises for no other purposes whatever without the prior written consent of Lessor. In consideration thereof, Lessor and Lessee covenant and agree as follows:

1. Term and Occupancy.

a. The term of this Lease shall be for eight years (8) years (hereinafter referred to as the “Term”) and shall commence on July 1, 2016 (hereinafter referred to as the “Commencement Date”) and shall terminate June 30, 2024, eight (8) years from the Commencement Date (hereinafter referred to as the “Termination Date”), unless sooner terminated as herein set forth.

b. If Lessee shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof prior to the Commencement Date, in which event the covenants and conditions of this Lease shall be binding upon the parties hereto with respect to such portion of the Premises as if the Commencement Date had been fixed as of the date when Lessee took possession of such portion of the Premises and Lessee shall pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent as hereinafter defined for the period of such occupancy prior to the Commencement Date at the rate of the annual Basic Rent for Year 1 of this Lease as set forth in Section 3 herein, prorated for such period of occupancy and, if less that the total Premises are occupied, for the proportionate area of the total Premises so occupied. Early occupancy of the premises in accordance with this Section1.B shall not be deemed to accelerate the Termination Date.

c. Lessee agrees that in the event of the inability of Lessor to deliver possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date, Lessor shall not be liable for any damages therefore, but Lessee shall not be liable for any Basic Rent or Additional Rent until the time when Lessor can, after notice to Lessee, deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee. No such failure to give possession on the Commencement Date shall affect the other obligations of Lessee hereunder and the Commencement Date shall then be that date upon which the Premises are ready for occupancy by Lessee and the stated term of this Lease shall thereupon commence and the Termination Date shall be extended so as to give effect to the full state Term

2. Tax- Exempt Status of the Lessee.

The Lessees shall be in compliance with the terms, conditions and limitations, if any, in said letters, and the facts and circumstances that form the basis of such letters, as represented to the Internal Revenue Service, continue substantially to exist and no other material facts or circumstances have arisen which could adversely affect the determination in such letters. Lesses shall take all required action reasonably necessary to maintain its status such as such an organization and its exemption from federal income tax under said Sections of the Code or corresponding provisions of future federal income tax laws at all times during the term of this lease. Lessee shall take no action that in any way affects its status as an organization described in Section 501 (c) (3) of the Code, or which would subject any income of the Lessee to federal income taxation to such extent as would result in the loss of its tax-exempt status under Section 501 (a) of the Code.

Moreover, the Lessee agrees to not merge or consolidate with any other entity or permit any other entity to merge or consolidate with it which would adversely affect Lessee’s status as a corporation under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Code or its status as a political subdivision of the state of Iowa exempt under Section 501 (a) of the Code.

Further, Lessee agrees to provide a legal opinion from Lessee’s legal counsel that they are in compliance with this provision of the lease, said legal opinion to be directed to Lessor and furnished to Lessor prior to the commencement of the term of occupancy set forth in Paragraph No. 1 herein.

Lessee shall have no right to any apportionment of or any share in any condemnation award or judgment for damages made for the taking of any part of the Premises or the Building.

b. If any part of the Premises or Building is taken by any governmental or municipal authority or by any public utility or other entity having the powers of eminent domain (or shall be transferred, conveyed or assigned to any such authority, utility or other entity by Lessor under imminent threat of the exercise of the power of eminent domain), and the taking of such part shall not be so substantial as to render the remainder of the Building and Premises impractical for the operation of Lessee's business, then Lessor shall repair, restore, and rebuild any part of the Building or Premises damaged by such taking or sale to a condition, as nearly as practicable to a condition substantially similar to that which existed immediately prior to such taking or sale, unless such taking occurs in the last year of the Term, in which case either party may, by written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after such taking, terminate this Lease. If the Lease is not so terminated, however, Lessor shall restore the Building and Premises as provided above. Rent shall abate during the period in which possession of the Premises or part thereof is taken. Rent so abated shall be computed on a per diem basis and shall be that portion of the per diem rent for the whole Premises which the area of that part of the Premises taken bears to the entire Premises.

12. Interruption of Services.

Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be liable by abatement of Rent or otherwise for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service, or for any diminution or surge thereof, when such failure, delay, diminution or power surge is occasioned, in whole or in part, by causes beyond Lessor's reasonable control, including but not limited to, repairs or improvements to the Building, any labor problem, inability to secure power or water, any accident, interruptions caused by war, insurrection, civil commotion, riots, acts of God or the enemy or government action, inability of Lessor to obtain fuel or supplies or any act or omission of Lessee or any other party.

15. Misuse and Sublet of Premises and Assignment of Lease.

a. Lessee will not allow the Premises to be used for any purpose that will increase the rate of insurance thereon, nor for any purpose other than the Permitted Use, and will not allow the Premises to be occupied in whole or in part by any other person, and will not sublet the same or any part thereof, nor assign this Lease without in each case the written consent of the Lessor first being obtained, and Lessee will not permit any transfer by operation of law of the interest in the Premises acquired through this Lease. Any such action on the part of Lessee shall be void and of no effect and shall constitute a default hereunder. Lessor shall have no obligation to consent to the proposed sublease or assignment, and Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has a vital interest in the nature, variety and location of lessees in the Building as a whole and that Lessor's right to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting for business concerns and purposes, including whether or not the proposed sublessee or assignee or its business is or may be subject to compliance with additional requirements of the law, including any related rules or regulations, commonly known as the "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990," as amended from time to time, or similar state or local laws relating to persons with disabilities, is a material consideration for the rental rate and terms contained in this Lease.

b. Lessee will not permit the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose, or increase the fire hazard of the Building or disturb the tenants of the Building or the neighborhood, and will not sell or offer to sell or permit to be sold or offered for sale in the Premises any alcoholic or other intoxicating beverage, and will not permit the Premises to remain vacant or unoccupied for more than ten (10) consecutive days, and will not allow any signs, cards, or placards to be posted, or placed thereon, and will not use the name of the Building for any purpose other than that of business address of Lessee and will not use any picture or likeness of the Building in any circulars, notices, advertisements or correspondence without Lessor's prior written consent.

16. Liens and Encumberances.

Lessee agrees to pay promptly for any work done or materials furnished by or on behalf of Lessee in or about the Premises or the Building, and Lessee will not permit any mechanic's lien or liens or encumbrances of any kind whatever to be placed upon the Premises or the Building, and in case of the filing of any such lien will promptly pay same, or cause such lien to

10

be bonded over, unless such lien has not been caused by Lessee or one claiming through or under it. If default in payment thereof shall continue for, or Lessee shall not cause such lien to be bonded over, within five (5) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee, such failure shall constitute a default under this Lease and Lessor shall have the right and privilege at Lessor's option of paying the same or any portion thereof without inquiry as to the validity thereof, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be so much additional indebtedness hereunder due from Lessee to Lessor as Additional Rent or, if billed separately, shall be repaid to Lessor within five (5) days of rendition of a bill therefore.

17. Indemnity for Accidents.

Lessee covenants and agrees that it will protect, indemnify, defend and save and keep Lessor, the managing agent of the Building and said persons' agents, employees, affiliates, licensees, invitees and servants (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Indemnitees") forever harmless and indemnified against and from any penalty, damages (including consequential and punitive damages), charges or expense, including attorneys' fees, imposed for any violation of any laws or ordinances violated by Lessee, or any officer, agent, employee, independent contractor, guest or invitee thereof whether occasioned by the neglect or acts of Lessee, or any officer, agent, employee, independent contractor, guest or invitee thereof, and that Lessee will at all times protect, indemnify, defend and save and keep harmless the Indemnitees against and from any and all loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorneys' fees, arising out of or from any accident or other occurrence on or about the Premises, unless caused solely by the Indemnitees or another tenant of the Building or one claiming through or under them, causing injury to any person or property whomsoever or whatsoever and will protect, indemnify, defend and save and keep harmless the Indemnitees against and from any and all claims and against and from any and all loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorneys' fees, arising out of any failure of Lessee or any officer, agent, employee, independent contractor, guest or invitee thereof in any respect to comply with and perform all the requirements and provisions hereof. However, no such indemnification shall be required with respect to losses or liabilities arising by reason of the negligence of Lessor, its successor or assigns; or by reason of the failure of Lessor to keep the demised premises in repair in breach of Lessor’s covenant to maintain the premises; or by reason of the failure of Lessor to properly maintain the common areas, structural components, or mechanical systems of the building.

18. Non-Liabilty of Lessor.

a. Except in the case of its willful acts and willful omissions, Lessor shall not be liable for (nor

shall Rent abate as a result of) any damage occasioned by failure to keep the Premises in repair, nor for any damage done or occasioned by or from plumbing, gas, water, sprinkler, steam or other pipes or sewerage or the bursting, leaking or running of any pipes, tank or plumbing fixtures, in, above, upon or about the Premises or the Building nor from any damage occasioned by water, snow or ice being upon or coming through the roof, skylights, trap door or otherwise, nor for any damages arising from acts, or neglect of co-tenants or other occupants of the Building or of any owners or occupants of adjacent or contiguous property.

11

b.

c. All property situated in the Building or the Premises and belonging to Lessee, its agents, employees, affiliates, licensees, invitees and servants or any occupant of the Premises shall be situated there at the risk of Lessee or such other person only, and Lessor shall not be liable for damage, theft misappropriation or loss of that property.

d. Lessee hereby releases and waives all claims against Lessor, the managing agent of the Building and said parties' agents, employees, affiliates, licensees and servants for injury or damage to person, property or business sustained in or about the Building or the Premises by Lessee, its agents, employees, affiliates, licensees or servants, other than by reason of the willful misconduct of Lessor, the managing agent, employees, affiliates, licensees or servants.

e. All other equipment in or about the Building shall be operated solely at Lessee's risk.

19. Building Services.

a. Lessor will furnish and maintain the basic building, roof and common areas as well as the mechanical systems, such as the heating, cooling and all structural components of the building.

b. Lessor will provide for general common area cleaning (except meeting rooms- see Page 3) and maintenance, as well as snow removal in the common parking areas.

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall have the right to institute such policies, programs and measures as may be necessary or desirable, in Lessor's sole discretion, for the conservation or preservation of energy or energy-related services, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law.

d. The entrances to the Building and Premises shall be locked, and Lessee shall be given a key.

20. Access to Premises.

Lessee shall allow Lessor free access to the Premises for the purpose of examining or exhibiting the same, or to make any needed repairs, and will allow Lessor to enter upon the Premises at all times to place upon the Premises a notice of "For Sale" and, during the last year of the Term, "To Rent", and will not interfere with the same.

sum required to be paid by Lessee under this Lease or under the terms of any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee;

which Lessee is required to observe and perform and which Lessee has not either corrected or promptly commenced and diligently proceeded to correct within

(iii) use or occupancy of the Premises for any purpose other than the Permitted Use

without the prior written consent thereto by Lessor; (iv) the interest of Lessee or any part thereof under this Lease shall be levied on under

execution or other legal process and said interest shall not have been cleared by said levy or execution within fifteen (15) days from the date thereof;

(v) any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or for corporate reorganization or any similar relief shall be filed by Lessee:

(vi) any involuntary petition in bankruptcy shall be filed against Lessee under any

federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar act and shall not have been dismissed within thirty (30) days from the filing thereof:

22. Remedies of Lessor.

a. Upon the occurrence of any default by Lessee under this Lease, Lessor may, at its option, with or without notice or demand of any kind to Lessee or any other person, have any one or more of the following described remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law, in equity or elsewhere herein, and such rights and remedies shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other right allowed by law:

(i) Lessor may terminate this Lease and the Term created hereby, in which event

Lessor may forthwith repossess the Premises and be entitled to recover (in addition to any other sums or damages for which Lessee may be liable to Lessor) as damages a sum of money equal to the excess of the value of the Rent provided to be paid by Lessee for the balance of the stated Term over the fair market rental value of the Premises, after deduction of all anticipated expenses of reletting for said period. Should the fair market rental value of the Premises, for the balance of the Term, after deduction of all anticipated expenses of reletting, exceed the value of the Rent provided to be paid by Lessee for the balance of the Term,

13

Lessor shall have no obligation to pay to Lessee the excess or any part thereof or to credit such excess or any part thereof against any other sums or damages for which Lessee may be liable to Lessor.

(ii) Lessor may terminate Lessee's right of possession and may repossess the Premises by forcible entry and detainer suit.

b. Lessee by this Lease grants to Lessor a first lien upon all property of Lessee located on the

premises to secure the payment of money due under this Lease, which lien may be foreclosed in equity.

c. Lessor may seek damages and payment of Lessor’s reasonable costs, charges and expensed (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel, agents and others retained by Lessor) incurred in successfully enforcing Lessee’s obligations hereunder or incurred by Lessor in any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which Lessee causes Lessor, without Lessor’s fault, to become involved or concerned.

23. Bankruptcy.

a. If Lessor shall not be permitted to terminate this Lease as provided in this Lease because

of the provisions of the United States Code relating to bankruptcy, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the “Bankruptcy Code”), the Lessee as a debtor-in-possession or any trustee for Lessee agrees promptly (within no more than thirty (30) days) upon request by Lessor to apply to the Bankruptcy Court to assume or reject this Lease, and Lessee on behalf of itself and any trustee agrees not to seek or request any extension or adjournment of any application to assume or reject this Lease by Lessor with such Court. In such event, Lessee or any trustee may only assume this Lease if (i) it cures or provides adequate assurances that the trustee will promptly cure any default hereunder, (ii) it compensates or provides adequate assurance that Lessee will promptly compensate Lessor for any actual monetary loss to Lessor resulting from Lessee’s default, and (iii) it provides adequate assurance of performance during the full Term of all of the terms, covenants, and provisions of this Lease to be performed by Lessee. In no event after the assumption of this Lease shall any then-existing default remain uncured for a period in excess of the earlier of ten (10) days or the time period set forth herein. Adequate assurance of performance of this Lease shall include, without limitation, adequate assurance of the source of Rent reserved hereunder and that the assumption of the Lease will not breach any provision hereunder.

b. If Lessee assumes this Lease and proposes to assign the same pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to any person or entity who shall have made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of the Lease on terms acceptable to Lessee, then notice of such proposed assignment, setting forth (i) the name and address of such person, (ii) all of the terms and conditions of such offer, and (iii) the adequate assurance to be provided Lessor to assure such person’s future performance under the Lease, including, without limitation, the assurance referred to in Section 365 (b) (3) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be given to Lessor by Lessee no later than twenty (20) days after receipt by the Lessee but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the date that Lessee shall make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for authority and approval to enter into such assignment and assumption, and Lessor shall thereupon have the prior right and option, to be exercised by notice to Lessee given at any time prior to the effective date of such proposed assignment, to accept an assignment of this Lease upon the same terms and conditions and

14

for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such person, less any brokerage commissions which may be payable out of the consideration to be paid by such person for the assignment of this lease.

c. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered to Lessor shall be and remain the exclusive property of Lessor and shall not constitute property of Lessee or of the estate of the Lessee within the meaning of the Backruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other consideration constituting Lessor’s property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Lessor shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lessor and shall be promptly paid to Lessor.

d. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be conclusively deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall upon demand execute and deliver to Lessor an instrument confirming such assumption.

e. Nothing contained in this Section [28] shall in any way constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Lease relating to assignment. Lessee shall not, by virtue of this section, have any further rights relating to assignment other than those granted in the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by Lessee to or on behalf of Lessor under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as rent, shall constitute rent for the purpose of section 502 (b) (6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

24. EXTRA FIRE HAZARD.

There shall not be allowed, kept, or used on the Premises any inflammable or explosive oils, liquids or materials and Lessee agrees not to do or permit to be done any act or thing which will invalidate or be in conflict with fire or other insurance policies governing the Building or its operation, or part thereof.

25. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS RESERVED TO LESSOR.

Lessor shall have the following rights, each of which Lessor may exercise without liability to Lessee for damage or injury to property, person or business due to the exercise of those rights, and the exercise of those rights shall not be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Lessee's use or possession of the Premises and shall not give rise to any claim for setoff, deduction or abatement of Rent or any other claim:

a. Lessor may change the street address of the Building upon thirty (30) days written notice

to Lessee. b. Lessor may install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and on the interior

of the Building. c. Lessor may relocate, enlarge, reduce or change lobbies, exits or entrances in or to the

Building and decorate and make repairs, alterations, additions and improvements, structural or otherwise, in or to the Building, and for those purposes may erect scaffolding and other structures, and during those operations may enter upon the Premises and take into and upon or through any part of the Building, including the Premises, all materials that may be required to make those repairs, alterations, improvements or additions, and in that connection, Lessor may close public entryways, public spaces, stairways or corridors and

15

interrupt or temporarily suspend any services or facilities agreed to be furnished by Lessor, all without the same constituting an eviction of Lessee in whole or in part and without abatement of Rent by reason of loss or interruption of the business of Lessee or otherwise and without in any manner rendering Lessor liable for damages or relieving Lessee from performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. If Lessee desires to have any such work done during other than ordinary business hours, Lessee shall pay all overtime and additional expenses resulting therefrom.

26. TIME OF ESSENCE.

Time is of the essence of this Lease and each of its provisions.

27. PAYMENT OF FEES.

In the event of a dispute between the Lessor and Lessee concerning any provision of this lease which cannot be resolved between the parties and, therefore, must be resolved by a court, mediator or arbitrator, the winning party may seek damages and payment of reasonable attorney fees and costs.

28. SUCCESSORS.

This Lease and all covenants and agreements herein contained shall be binding upon, apply, and inure to the respective heirs, executors, successors, administrators, and assigns of all parties to this Lease; provided, however, that this Lease shall not inure to the benefit of any assignee, heir, administrator, devisee, legal representative, successor, transferee or successor of Lessee except upon the prior written consent of Lessor.

29. NONWAIVER.

No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of Lessor to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such provision, even if such violation be continued or repeated subsequently, and no express waiver by Lessor shall be valid unless in writing and shall not affect any provision other than the one specified in such written waiver and that provision only for the time and in the manner specifically stated in the waiver. No receipt of monies by Lessor from Lessee after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Term or Lessee's right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice given Lessee prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Lessor may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.

30. SURRENDER OF POSSESSION.

Upon the expiration of the Term, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Lessee shall immediately surrender the Premises to Lessor in as good a condition as at the date of occupancy by Lessee, ordinary wear and tear excepted. At the termination of this Lease, all fixtures shall be relinquished to Lessor in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and Lessee shall surrender all keys to the Premises and shall make known to Lessor the combination

16

for all locks on safes, cabinets and vaults. On or before the termination of the Lease, Lessee shall remove its office furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment and all other items of Lessee's personal property on the Premises. Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon demand the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises and to the building caused by any such removal or in returning the Premises to building standard condition. If Lessee shall fail or refuse to remove any such property from the Premises, Lessee shall be conclusively presumed to have abandoned the same, and title thereto shall thereupon pass to Lessor at no cost and with no further action, and Lessor may, at its option, without incurring liability to Lessee or any other person, (i) accept the title to such property or (ii) at Lessee's sole expense, remove such property (or any part thereof) in any manner that Lessor shall choose, (repairing at Lessee's cost any damage to the Premises caused by such removal) and store, destroy, or otherwise dispose of the same.

31. SIGNS.

No sign, notice, advertisement or other inscription of any kind, unless specifically permitted by Lessor in writing, shall be put in or on any part of the building, except of such size, form and color as may be first authorized in writing by Lessor. Directory tablets with the names of tenants will be provided by Lessor and Lessor shall also provide a designated area near the street where the Lessee can put their own sign, the size and content of which must be approved by Lessor in advance.

32. ADDITIONAL LOCKS.

No additional lock or locks shall be placed by the Lessee on any door in the building without the written consent of Lessor, first obtained. A reasonable number of keys will be furnished by Lessor.

33. UNLAWFUL USE OF PREMISES.

Lessee will make no unlawful use of premises, and agrees to comply with all valid regulations of the Board of Health, City ordinances, or applicable municipality rules and regulations in Storm Lake, Iowa, as well as the laws of the State of Iowa, and the federal government. This provision shall not be construed as creating any duty by Lessee to members of the general public. Lessee will not allow trash of any kind to accumulate on the premises and will not allow or permit the premises to be damaged or depreciated in value.

34. NON-LIABILITY OF LESSEE.

Except in the case of Lessee’s willful or unlawful acts or unlawful admissions, Lessee shall not be liable for any damage done or occasioned by the failure of Lessor to properly maintain and/or repair the common areas of the building and the structural components or mechanical systems of the building.

35. OPTION TO TERMINATE.

The Landlord and the Tenant agree that the Tenant shall have an option to terminate this lease agreement prior to the expiration of the term of this lease agreement if the monetary funding

17

available to the Tenant for all of its operations for any calendar year is reduced twenty percent (20%) or more below the amount of monetary funding available to the Tenant for all of its operations for the 2016 calendar year. This option to terminate may be exercised by the Tenant effective as of June 30, 2017, and effective as of the 1st day of July of each year thereafter. The Tenant shall exercise this option to terminate by mailing a written notice to the Landlord on or before March 30th. This written notice shall be mailed to the Landlord by certified mail, return receipt requested. This written notice shall specify that the Tenant is exercising its option to terminate this lease agreement effective as of the following June 30th. This written notice shall further specify the amount of monetary funding available to the tenant for all of its operations for the calendar year beginning the following January 1st. On receipt of the above-specified notice, the Landlord shall have the right to review all of the Tenant’s financial records to insure that the monetary funding available to the Tenant for the following calendar year for all of the Tenant’s operations is twenty percent (20%) or more less than the monetary funding which was available to the tenant for all of its operations for the 2016 calendar year.

Executive Director Report – August, 2016 August raced by like all months seem to do these days. Students back in school and AEA staff back at it. Things were pretty normal in August, but there were a few things that were important to look at. The Des Moines Register finally published their article that was about AEA funding cuts and the impact on students and parents across Iowa. It turned out to be a pretty positive article and we are currently using that article as we have meetings with legislators across the state. The article pointed out that the AEA system is doing about as well as can be expected giving funding levels. The article had the potential to cast AEA services in a negative light. However, in the end it was mostly a positive spin that reinforced the talking points that we have been using about the pain caused by the continuing cuts. I think the fact that we spent a good deal of time talking with the Register reporter (Mackenzie Ryan) paid off in the article. Thanks go to Pat Heiderscheit and Paula Vincent for the time they spent with me and the reporter. As I mentioned, we are using copies of the article when meeting with legislators. I spent time in August developing the list of key members that we need to have meetings with. Working with our lobbying team, that list is extensive, but necessary. Several Chiefs have had meetings already, with everyone else to follow suit. We generally have at least one member of our lobbying team at those meetings and we also usually have a donation from the Chief in that legislator’s area. It is a lot of time and work and the nine Chiefs embrace the task willingly. We need to continue to reinforce our advocacy that was fairly effective at the end of last session. I convened the quarterly IAAEA Board of Directors meeting via conference call. Mostly an update call with some real work to be done at the November face to face meeting. I attended the SAI Convention in Des Moines. It was a good networking event as always. I also hung around the AEA Purchasing booth to help out a little there. As Executive Director, I always take several calls a month from various groups, organizations and parents. I always try and make sure that I get them to someone

who can be of assistance if I am not able to answer their questions. This month, I had a meeting with the Executive Director for Prevent Child Abuse Iowa. They want some help spreading their message of help and we will certainly consider how we can assist them. You will likely hear some more about this in the next couple of months. I spent a good deal of time this month working with Joan Wade who is the new Executive Director for AESA. As I mentioned before, she has asked me/AEA system to host a national meeting for the Executive Directors of states that have a position similar to the one I currently hold. There are 10 states that have a full time Executive Director. I am excited to have my colleagues come to Iowa for a daylong session about how to improve their statewide systems. The meeting will be at Heartland AEA on Thursday, October27. We are making preparations for this meeting and it will take some time over the next 6 weeks to make it a success. I think it is a nice gesture by the national group to have this first ever state leaders conference in Iowa. Much time was taken up in August with regular meetings. I attended the IPTV Board meeting in which we had a visit from the Chairperson of PBS Paula Kerger for a discussion with the Board and an emphasis on early education efforts from PBS. Very interesting. We had our monthly agenda planning call under the new Chief Chief, Pat Heiderscheit. We are off to a good, organized start! I attended the face to face meeting of the AEA PD Online Governance Committee. There are exciting things happening with PD Online, and they have developed a profile of service/savings for the Chiefs to use with their LEAs to show the awesome value available when they use AEA PD Online. We also had our monthly AEA Purchasing Operations Committee meeting. Sales for the previous year were good and we continue to save school districts money though our coops. They also sent out a profile of savings for every LEA using our coops. I had my normal monthly meeting with DE Director Ryan Wise to make sure that the time he spends with the AEA Chiefs is as useful as possible. That was

followed up by an active and productive Chiefs monthly meeting. Never a dull moment. Lastly, I spoke to the Green Hills AEA August Board meeting to bring them up to date on AEA system issues. I look forward to visiting as many AEA Boards as possible this upcoming year because I really enjoy the interaction. The election cycle is starting to heat up with control of the Iowa Legislature on the line. The AEA system will be actively involved in advocacy efforts as noted above and I am sure that I will have more to report on next month. Until then, enjoy Labor Day!

Iowa’s Area Education Agencies have an explicit commitment and an unrelenting focus on student achievement. Legislation in 1975 originally established Area Education Agencies (AEA) to “provide instructional and supportive special education and educational media services.” Today, in concert with this legislative mandate, Iowa's AEAs provide essential educational services that ensure all Iowa learners benefit from effective, efficient, and equitable educational services and prepare them for a life well-lived.

2017

Full funding of the AEA systemFull funding of the AEA system as provided for in the Iowa Code. Funding for the AEA system next year will be $18.75 million LESS than what the law calls for. This money is almost exclusively Special Education funding. Over the past six years, the AEAs have been underfunded by $98.75 million. During the same time, numerous

tax reductions have been enacted, including the largest tax cut in the history of Iowa. It is time to

fully fund the AEAs as called for by law to help our most vulnerable students in Special Education.

Teacher Leadership and Compensation Ongoing SupportDuring the first three years of TLC implementation, the AEA system has provided professional development for all 333 school districts in Iowa. An ongoing appropriation of $2 million is requested to continue the professional development needed for successful implementation.

An additional $1 million is needed for professional development for the principals of 1,400 schools. Another $1 million is requested to support the Department of Education for their leadership and implementation of TLC, as well as the ongoing assessment tool to determine the effectiveness of TLC. The Governor’s and Legislature’s investment of $150 million in the TLC can be maintained and continued to be implemented for as little as 2.7% on an annual basis.

Computer Science For All Meeting w/ Linda Fandel

Input shared from the following innovative Iowa leaders: • Trace Pickering, Asst Supt Cedar Rapids CSD • Jeff Dicks, Supt Washington CSD • Todd Abrahamson, Supt Okoboji CSD

• John Carver, Supt Howard-Winn • Deron Durflinger, Supt Van Meter • David Smith, Supt Spirit Lake

• Jeff Herzberg, Chief Administrator Prairie Lakes AEA & Supt Gilmore City-Bradgate CSD Agreement:

• We all understand, and agree with, the importance of the skill/knowledge of coding, programming, and computer science for our students, now and in the future.

• We all have made the connections of computer science to the Future Ready Iowa goals of Governor Branstad, the STEM council’s work as well as the State’s new College & Career Readiness Definition.

• We all want students to be better at problem solving and critical thinking which are paramount to the computer science field and are trying to accomplish this through our work with our districts.

Questions/Barriers: • What is meant by the phrase computer science? (many districts think they’re doing it now) • How can we ensure that Computer Science is not a stand-alone course but rather embedded in what

we’re doing in other curricular areas? (we’re all tired of skills taught in isolation and see little benefit) • How can we require one more course for graduation in our high schools? (Eight period day is full; CTE is

hard enough right now) • How can we fill the need of a teacher for every high school with limited resources? What is the estimated

cost of training? • How can we make sure that this is not a further divide between the haves and have nots? (many of our

small, rural areas are already at a disadvantage in the area of human capital) • How can we ensure that the money to support this new requirement doesn’t take funds from

Supplemental State Aid? (ex. TLC) • How can we make connections between computer science to personalized learning, Competency Based

Education (CBE) and passion/project/problem based learning? We must use in authentic ways! • Is there a time when we need to stand back and ask about “initiative fatigue” in our schools?

Possible Solutions:

• Make computer science a math or science credit w/out a teacher certified in those areas. • Get the private sector (business & industry experts, hackathon community, etc.) involved in helping us

solve shortage without making it a requirement. • Provide an easier route for non-traditional teachers to be certified so that people with this expertise

might be able to transition to the classroom more easily. • Utilize workshop model, camps, blended learning, bringing experts in the school, fully online, summer

school and other possibilities to improve student learning in this area again without making it a requirement.

• Provide innovation grants for school districts and AEAs who are trying to re-imagine school and learning instead of giving the same money to everyone when we know the results are not good enough; incentivize innovation!
