Abstract
As we look to the 1990's the needs and problems of funding education in rural Iowa and urban Iowa are very much alike. The financing of education should be kept as simple as possible; especially in rural schools where the Superintendent is inundated with forms and paper work.
Each student should be equally funded, no matter the size of the school district. Actual enrollment numbers should be used to determine each school district's regular program budget. State aid should be the same amount per pupil no matter in which district the student resides. The same amount of property tax, not necessarily the same percentage, should be allowed to each pupil no matter how rich or how poor their district of residence may be. Any student moving from one district to another would be an equal exchange financially. This will be a greater concern with "open enrollment."
