AEA 11 Co-op Transition to IEC
The AEA 11 Co-op will be closing as of June 30, 2008. Heartland AEA 11 and the Iowa Educators Consortium (IEC) have combined our efforts to continue to offer your school district the best in bid pricing and cooperative purchasing. This web page has been created for Heartland AEA 11 Co-op clients to help you locate products purchased by your district.
We have listed the categories you are currently buying through the co-op below and provided detailed instructions on how to order these items through the IEC. Please click on the words in blue for detailed information. These categories/items have been competitively bid and are billed and SHIPPED DIRECTLY to your school, which we see as a great advantage for you.
