Education Savings Account (ESA) Submissions

Students that are approved and receiving an Education Savings Account (ESA) will be reported to the Iowa Department of Education three times throughout the year.  The resident district in which the student resides also needs to be accurately reported as this information also impacts the funding the public district receives for ESA students.  

The student file will be submitted through a secure ESA application within our data collection system, Cedar Connect.
