Abstract
Iowa's current method of funding its public schools has served the state well for almost 20 years. Initially designed by the General Assembly in the late 1960s, it was modified between 1970 and 1972 to create the present foundation plan. Among its notable features are a uniform levy requirement, a state foundation base, a growth limit on school districts' budgets, higher allowable growth for low-spending districts, minimum state aid for each district, and school district budgets based on enrollment.
