Iowa’s three regents presidents told lawmakers to treat higher education as an equal among K-12 and community colleges and to spare funds from cuts. They urged tuition control, use of rainy day funds, and reconsidering education funding as a continuum from preschool to college.
Republican leaders unveiled a 4.571 billion dollar budget for Iowa, 39 million below the current year and 175 million less than the governor's proposal. They defend cuts as prudent while Democrats charge the plan shortchanges education and shifts funds across agencies.
The Iowa Senate approved up to 100 million in revenue bonds for the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics as part of a 725 million capital-improvement plan. The bonds, funded by hospital revenues, would fund high tech equipment upgrades and a new security system at the UI Hygienic Laboratory, with sales anticipated incrementally through 2010.
Iowa House passed Senate File 2315 adding about 45 dollars per K 12 student in local budgets while allowing districts to raise 12 million more via property tax levies or reserves. The bill totals 71 million for K 12 education with a 53.6 million possible tax impact and sparked GOP calls to keep funding separate from the teacher pay package.
A Des Moines judge will rule on back overtime owed to about 150 troopers in an eight year dispute that could total up to 15 million dollars. The 1994 suit, now before District Court Judge D J Stovall, centers on whether sergeants and higher are exempt from overtime.
