As a reminder, beginning July 1, 2025, van delivery became a purchased service for school districts as part of the implementation of HF 2612. While some districts have opted to continue this service, others have not. (Please refer to the August edition of The Channel for more information of this document which details which districts have purchased van mail delivery.)
Regardless of whether a district has purchased van delivery, AEA staff members will still receive delivery of necessary professional items such as adaptive equipment, test kits, Creative Services orders and interoffice mail. These will be delivered to the office location within the school building you have designated. Please confirm this location with our delivery team by emailing delivery@centralriversaea.org when requesting pick-up or delivery.
To ensure we are managing limited delivery resources responsibly, van delivery is reserved strictly for professional purposes. This means only work-related items such as those listed above should be requested for delivery. Personal items – including birthday cards, gifts or other non-work-related packages – should not be sent via van delivery. Routes are jam packed given our partnership with public libraries so drivers appreciate your consideration in requesting additional stops.
