Abstract
Rural education in Iowa needs to be on the same level as city and urban schools. The curriculum offerings and quality should be equal. The rural population has strived to provide better education at a cost we can afford and has always paid more than its share in support of the Iowa school system. Rural education should be funded by state and local taxpayers in a way that would be equal to all students in the state. Transportation should be from a separate budget so all students can have equal dollars to start with. There are many ways to be studied to be more efficient: consolidation, sharing, county schools, circuit teachers, transportation systems, county central offices, county maintenance systems, county superintendent, county nurses, county-wide foreign languages, county technical type schools, the list can go on and on.
