Urbandale Bonds Hit State Law Limits on School Construction
Urbandale School Superintendent Lyle Kehm criticizes Iowa lawmakers for blocking classroom facilities by limiting bonded indebtedness to seven mills or five percent of property evaluation. Urbandale has reached its bonding capacity despite strong local support, with voters approving bonds at high rates yet still lacking a proper high school gym and needing to rent six classrooms for 1963 64. The piece contrasts state reluctance with federal aid arguments, noting the district’s willingness to pay.
