Iowa City school budget eyed amid inflation pressures
Iowa City school district plans a levy rate of 16.10 per thousand, down 72 cents, saving a homeowner with a 200000 dollar home about 1.50 monthly on taxes. Enrollment rose 172 this year to 14551, boosting State Supplemental Aid by 2 percent to 7988 per student. CFO Kurth warns inflation remains a challenge as funding lags enrollment and district aims to grow unspent balance toward 7 million by year end.
