New Iowa School Budget Review Committee Could Force Consolidation
The Iowa School Budget Review Committee, created by the 1967 statute, can withhold part of state aid from districts spending above the state per pupil average plus projected tax increases. If a district’s budget exceeds the allowable amount, it must be reviewed and may face fund cuts, potentially driving consolidation. Members caution that smaller districts could be hit hardest, and districts can still raise local taxes to offset cuts.
