Our district and surrounding districts in Iowa need your help. The legislators are preparing to vote on the Supplemental State Aid (SSA). Senators and Representatives are discussing the funding this week. The SSA is the funding stream that helps our districts function. It helps with salaries and it helps with district bills such as heating and lighting. The proposed Legislative increase for districts is a 2.5% increase when the inflation costs are 7%. With the inflation and sales tax growth, the state could provide more to public schools. Pass the word along that the Governor's budget is required to have a 4% revenue growth and a 2% expenditure growth. Districts would ask the same for the public education budget. This amount would help sustain our districts in the state. A 4% SSA is easily affordable even with tax cuts. Now is the time to call and email your legislators to help pass an SSA for 4%. Please pass this along to others to help contact our legislators. Thank you for your help.
