Code No. 802.3
EMERGENCY REPAIRS
In the event of an emergency requiring repairs, in excess of the state limit, to a school district facility are necessary in order to correct or control the situation and to prevent the closing of school, the provisions relating to bidding will not apply.
It is the responsibility of the superintendent to obtain certification from the area education agency administrator stating such repairs in excess of the state limit were necessary to prevent the closing of school.
It is the responsibility of the superintendent to notify the board as soon as possible considering the circumstances of the emergency.
NOTE: This policy reflects Iowa law regarding emergency repairs. The certification of AEA administrator is a legal requirement.
