Property tax levies stay high under Iowa school plan
Iowa lawmakers hear that a special provision in the 1971 foundation school finance plan shields many districts from large tax drops. Council Bluffs would see the biggest decline without the clause, with Des Moines and Cedar Falls also affected. Dr. Wayne Truesdell suggests revisions to satisfy constitutional concerns, while the plan requires each district to levy 20 mills of local property tax.
