Governor Kim Reynolds Thursday signed Senate File 2201 into law. The bill will increase state aid to public schools by $82 million.
The bill will provide a two percent increase in per pupil funding for the state’s fiscal year 2027, resulting in more than $4 billion for Iowa’s public schools. Together with state, local, and federal funds, Iowa schools are estimated to benefit from more than $9.1 billion in total education funding next school year.
Reynolds said “These investments and more demonstrate Iowa’s commitment to empowering educators, elevating academic standards, and driving accountability to ensure every Iowa student succeeds at school, work and life.”
