      Hi! I’m Hannah Schulz, and I am the Student Family Advocate, Non-Violent Crisis Intervention Trainer, and District McKinney-Vento Liaison in the Tipton Community School District. This will be my 4th year as the liaison. My favorite thing about Iowa is being close to family and friends after living out of state for a while.

      Hi, I’m Alex Stubbers. I work with Saydel Community School District, where I am the district HR Director and Director of Programs and Services. I have worked for Saydel for ten years and three years as a liaison, all with MV students. My favorite things about Iowa are the fall colors and weather.
