Iowa Tax Levy Plan Seeks Uniform Per Pupil Aid
The committee proposes state aid to raise district funding to a uniform per pupil level set at 640 dollars, about 85 percent of current state average. Local taxes would cover any additional spending, with referendums required if districts exceed 120 percent of state average or outpace revenue growth. If rejected, districts must tighten budgets. The panel aims to ease Iowa's property tax burden and meets next week to refine the plan.
