Iowa education group seeks 43 million more for schools
The Iowa State Education Association will ask the Iowa Legislature for an additional 43 million dollars in state aid to schools. The request comes from two changes to the school aid formula, including a 4 percent growth rate and an extra 6 dollars per pupil. Duvall notes funding shortfalls have led to cuts and nearly 1,300 teaching positions lost, while polls show public support for higher funding.
