Branstad plan could cut property taxes in many Iowa districts
A state study shows Branstad's school funding overhaul could trim property tax asks by millions in 98 of 433 districts while boosting state aid by nearly 1.1 billion. Iowa City district would gain enough aid to drop its levy by about 490 thousand. Linn-Mar and Muscatine districts see smaller cuts. Critics warn of potential 141 million rise if per pupil spending limits are loosened.
