Dear Iowa Principal/Superintendent/School IT Director, The Iowa Department of Education is pleased to partner with Connect Iowa (the organization currently working to map high-speed Internet availability throughout the Hawkeye State) in an effort designed to improve broadband access at Iowa's Community Anchor Institutions (CAI) - including Iowa's public schools. To succeed in this effort, however, it is important that we first obtain a solid picture of the broadband landscape as it currently exists among Iowa's CAIs. You are being contacted because your location has been designated as a Community Anchor Institution (CAI) by the state and we need you to provide some quick information that will help us in planning for better broadband access at your facility.
Only a few minutes of your time are requested to complete this simple online survey that will enable us to collect the needed information for your local health department. Please use the following link to answer a few quick questions about your facility's Internet connection.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Corey Johns of Connect Iowa by e-mail at cjo...@connectednation.org or by phone at (877) 846-7710.
