Governor Kim Reynolds has signed two education funding bills into law that provide a 2 percent increase in state per-pupil funding for the budget year beginning in July:

OC……..per student equity. ;11

The measures boost per-pupil support from the state general fund to nearly $3.3 billion:

OC…….end of 3rd grade. :15

The second bill provides schools $21.3 million, including funding for transportation in districts where the cost of busing students is higher.

Reynolds was joined by a group of elementary school students as she signed the bills in a ceremony Tuesday morning at the Iowa Capitol.
