Senate pushes to support local schools

Several weeks ago in the Senate, we approved a 2 percent increase in basic state aid to our local schools. Failing to help local schools deal with increasing costs jeopardizes student achievement by causing teacher layoffs and crowding classrooms.

Budgeting is about setting priorities. We can afford this modest increase in funding for our local schools. What we can’t afford is to fail to invest in our childrenóthe future of our state, our future leaders and our future workforce.
Iowa’s route to a high-skill, high-wage economic future depends on the quality of our local schools. Our children need strong skills, and new and expanding businesses must know that Iowa’s commitment to education is second to none.
