Who serves public schools and higher education better?
To the Editor
The Iowa Legislature and Republican Governors have been starving our public schools financially for some time. When you see that the 2022 Iowa Legislature added $186 per pupil or 2.5% to Supplement State Aid for public schools, that may seem like a lot, but during the years from 2005-2011 under Democrat Governors, schools averaged 3.5 %. During the latest Terry Branstad-Kim Reynolds era, schools have received anywhere from 0% to the current 2.5 %.
