Voice Your Support for Adequate School Funding

The Iowa legislature has been unable to reach an agreement on school funding for the fiscal year beginning on July 1, with the House passing a 1.25 percent increase in funding and the Senate passing a 4 percent increase. There is currently a Conference Committee from both chambers convened to negotiate the impasse.

TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE WITH EDUCATIONAL SPENDING ACROSS THE COUNTRY, IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE LEGISLATURE SET THE 2015-2016 INCREASE AT 4 PERCENT AND THE 2016-2017 INCREASE AT 6 PERCENT.
