Abstract
This paper will focus on the funding dynamics of schools with an average daily attendance under 1,000 students. There are 329 school districts in Iowa under 1,000 students, with 104 school districts above 1,000 students. In general, this will include county seat towns and counties with less than 10,000 population and all other rural school districts.
Current data shows the combined budgets for school districts under 1,000 totals $582,964,066, while the total combined budgets for schools over 1,000 is $1,163,076,866. Seventy-six percent of Iowa's school districts (329) spend 33 percent of the total amount of money spent on K-12 education serving 153,245 students. Twenty-four percent of the school districts (104) spend 67 percent of the total funds available for K-12 education serving 324,957 students.
