Good morning, Waterloo.

Governor Reynolds is expected to sign a measure that provides 2% K-12 funding—critics say the increase may fall short as inflation drives higher school costs.

Waterloo School District will cut $8 million from its budget for the upcoming school year due to falling enrollment and rising costs (with $3.7 million from staffing and $3.2 million from salaries), while funding for the new high school comes from SAVE funds.
