ISPA is working hard to advocate for Iowa’s school psychologists and in light of the recent legislative changes we all know this organization will be more critical than ever in supporting the work of our school psychologists.

In addition to putting on an annual workshop, we continue working with a lobbyist and SSWA to host our annual Day on the Hill event. We need more individuals who are passionate about the profession to join the ISPA Board!

The Board typically meets one time per year in person and a few times a year via Zoom. Participation is a great way to get into a leadership role within the school psychology community and open doors for the future!

NASP Stipend 2024

Hello ISPA Members,

I am excited to share this with you on behalf of the ISPA Executive Board! We are going to provide ONE $500 stipend to an ISPA Member who wants to attend NASP’s Public Policy Institute this summer. The institute will be held in Washington, DC on July 24-26th.

This stipend will not cover all of your expenses, but will be a nice incentive to have someone participate. If you would like to be considered for this stipend, please complete the linked GOOGLE FORM. The form also has additional information and expectations related to this opportunity.

Responses have a FIRM due date of April 18th at 11:59pm. This will allow time for the Executive Board to review responses and choose someone prior to the registration price increasing.

We hope you will consider this exciting opportunity! Those who have attended in the past found it very meaningful and informative. 

This is only available for ISPA members. If you are not a member, join now.

Thank you!
