Iowa to Study Iowa School Aid Program for 1951 Changes
Des Moines AP reports a research project by the Iowa Department of Public Instruction will study the state school aid program and propose a defensible funding plan for the 1951 legislature. A 17 member committee will gather input from educators and aim to produce a sound financing plan with united support. The study seeks answers on whether aid should target needs, be flat grants, or be broader, as state aid to schools totals 22.5 million dollars annually. The Iowa State Education Association indicates continued calls for increased funding to cover rising operating costs.
