Iowa House backs tax freeze plan for school funding
House Republicans affirmed a caucus plan to finance Iowa school districts for the next year by freezing property tax collections and providing 45 dollars per pupil in state aid for inflationary growth. An amendment allows districts to appeal for higher millage under special circumstances, with a School Budget Review Committee review. The move drew opposition from minority members who sought 55 dollars per pupil and a general push to reduce property taxes amid a large statewide deficit.
