So, like, Iowans for Tax Relief, they made this super cool online thingy that has info on every public school in Iowa. Sarah Curry, the research director for the ITR Foundation, was all like, “We wanted to help parents, school board members, and basically everyone in Iowa get the deets on what’s happening in their school districts.” She’s a mom with three kids in Iowa public schools, so she’s all about making sure they get a quality education.
The website spills the tea on stuff like graduation rates, ACT scores, and budget data for each district. They even show how many third graders are reading at their grade level and enrollment trends. Sarah thinks it’s important for parents to know what’s up in their school districts and have a convo with their school board peeps. She’s all about empowering parents to ask the right questions and advocate for their kids.
Oh, and let’s not forget about property tax levy rates for each district. Iowans for Tax Relief also gives their two cents on whether it’s “reasonable” or not. They’re out here trying to get legislators to lower property taxes, yo. So, like, if you wanna know what’s happening in your kid’s school and if the property taxes are fair, check out this website.
And that’s the scoop on Iowans for Tax Relief and their bomb website with all the deets on Iowa public schools. So, like, go check it out and get in the know, ya know?
