Eastern Iowa private schools eyeing larger than usual tuition hikes

[joelbc1]

The biggest cuts to public education in recent memory came at the hand of a Democrat governor. And it isn't even close.

And those cuts were made by necessity, not choice, Northern. Let’s be honest here with your damnation. Culver made his budget cuts “across the board”to fit a circumstance...Kim made hers via legislation to fit her agenda.

Iowans have two horrible scenarios in front of them.
1. Reynolds doesn't get a veep selection because RonnyBoy is toast, and remains Iowa Governor or
2. She becomes Vice President and we have a Republican in the WH.

Just kill me now!

Reynolds cut education? Source?

Reynolds cut education? Source?

If she isn't funding the districts at a level that allows them to maintain the status quo - personnel and programs - then she is cutting education. Don't make it difficult.

Paying public school teachers 84k to teach P.E. makes it difficult for public funding to keep pace.

One obvious fact that you seem determined to ignore...over the last 10-15 years, Branstad and Reynolds have not fully funded education in the State.
That causes local districts to cut teaching positions to meet budgets. That results in larger class sizes. That results in less assistance to students. That results in lower test scores. That, in turn, allows Iowa's Governor to claim public schools are failing.

Republicans are all for cutting taxes. Republicans in Iowa have seldom prioritized supporting students other than these theatrical claims of curriculum selection.

The amount of money the state budgets for education goes up every year.

Kim’s gifting of public tax dollars to private schools takes money away from public schools, Northern…….her agenda ands resultant passed legislation takes money AWAY from public schools…..THAT is a cut to (public) education.
