爱荷华州参议院在2026-27年通过2%的学校资金增支, 包括7M元的教师工资, Iowa Senate passes 2% school funding boost for 2026-27, including $7M for paraeducator pay, amid partisan debate over adequacy.

爱荷华州参议院批准将2026-27年的公立学校经费增加2%, 这是共和党人与州长金·雷诺兹之间的妥协, The Iowa Senate approved a 2% increase in public school funding for 2026-27, a compromise between Republicans and Governor Kim Reynolds, following a missed legal deadline with no penalties. 这项调动包括700万美元,用于提高教育工作者的薪金,解决征聘和留用问题。 The move includes $7 million to raise pay for paraeducators, addressing recruitment and retention issues. 共和党人说,增长能确保财政责任在入学率和收入下降的同时得到保障,而民主党人则认为增长没有达到通货膨胀水平,而且持续多年资金不足,这有长期学生成绩的风险。 Republicans say the increase ensures fiscal responsibility amid declining enrollment and revenue, while Democrats argue it falls short of inflation and continues years of underfunding, risking long-term student achievement.
