A Gazette survey of 20 Eastern Iowa public elementary teachers finds annual personal spending ranges from $10 to $600. Teachers urge funding priorities to cut class sizes and provide meaningful teaching tools, noting districts defer supply costs to underpaid staff.
The Gazette reports teacher spending on classroom supplies and a $250 to $500 tax deduction debate. Iowa City and Cedar Rapids districts face multi‑million budget cuts, while teachers like Joyce Kuethe note personal spending and bargain shopping.
Administrations across the University of Iowa and Iowa State University move to trim spending by several million dollars amid flat or falling enrollment. In Iowa, undergraduate numbers dropped to 20,233 from 20,487 last fall while deans brace for 2 percent to 2.5 percent cuts. At ISU, President Gregory Geoffroy announces an 8.3 million cut with potential layoffs.
The article notes an IBEW Local 405 member from Cedar Rapids on the Chinook crew, Flight Engineer Fisher, reported with broken bones and possible lung fluid, to be flown to a German military hospital. It also covers a second explosion near Tikrit that killed a 4th Infantry Division soldier and wounded 19 others, with 16 evacuated to Germany.
Two whooping cranes released in Iowa as chicks last year in Necedah Wisconsin join a multiagency effort to establish a eastern wild flock. Biologist Richard Urbanek will track movements as cranes migrate toward Florida with sandhill cranes amid daily location monitoring.
