Operation function sharing is an incentive for districts and AEAs to reduce costs by sharing management personnel in the areas of superintendency, business management, human resources, transportation, and operations and maintenance.  Districts and AEAs may share personnel with any Iowa governmental subdivision in addition to other districts and AEAs.  The services must be shared for at least 20 percent of time in the school year in each district or AEA requesting the supplementary weighting for sharing.  The incentive is available for up to five years, beginning with the 2007-2008 school year through the 2012-2013 school year.  The incentive is phased out by 20 percent each year.  The count day is October 1, and the due date is October 15. Districts requesting supplementary weighting for this type of sharing must fill out the Certified Supplementary Weighting application located on the secure EdInfo site: https://www.edinfo.state.ia.us/securelogin.asp
