not just in Iowa but in Pennsylvania and other states

(The school district knows - because they are required by law to keep it on file)

Employers must have a completed Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, on file for each person on their payroll (or otherwise receiving remuneration) who is required to complete the form. Employers must also keep completed Forms I-9 for a certain amount of time after their employees stop working for them. Never mail Forms I-9 to USCIS or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
