State legislators are continuing to determine funding for Iowa’s schools. At this time the House has passed a 2.4% budget increase and the Senate has passed a 2.2% increase.

The 2.2% increase from Senate & the 2.4% from House do not meet the current rate of inflation
School districts which were in hybrid or virtual WILL BE GIVEN LESS MONEY in one-time supplemental funding bill by saying they weren't in full time instruction EVEN THOUGH THESE PLANS WERE APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. 
- Due to COVID, a number of students are not enrolled this year. Those students will return next year and districts will not have received funding for them. 
Under the Senate proposal, 141 Iowa school districts will be placed on the budget guarantee, and make up the difference in increased property taxes with the lower SSA (State Supplemental Assistance)
Under the House proposal, approximately 134 Iowa school districts will be placed on the budget guarantee, and make up the difference in increased property taxes with the lower SSA (State Supplemental Assistance)
Our state is currently sitting on a billion dollars in the rainy day fund & surplus. It is unconscionable to underfund schools & raise property taxes when so many have been impacted by the DERECHO & COVID. 
Under the Senate proposal, these 141 school districts would raise their property taxes to meet the budget guarantee:
