Iowa Admin. Code r. 281-68.14
After the initial four-year contract for an innovation zone school and at the end of each renewal period thereafter, the local boards that formed the innovation zone consortium shall take affirmative action either to request renewal from the state board of the approval of the consortium's innovation zone school contract or to dissolve the innovation zone school. If seeking renewal of the contract from the state board, the local boards that formed the innovation zone consortium shall first hold a joint public hearing on the issue of renewal of the contract and shall submit to the department a copy of the minutes of the public hearing showing that a majority of the local board members voted in favor of requesting renewal of the state board's approval of the consortium's innovation zone school contract. Any action to request renewal of the contract must specify the number of years, which shall not be more than four years, for which renewal is requested.
An innovation zone consortium must submit a new application to the department if the consortium modifies any of the terms of the original contract.
