Funding for mental health services, additional money for schools and what to do about enrollment brought superintendents and school board members from Maquoketa Valley and West Delaware community school districts together with area legislators for a recent Zoom meeting.
Iowa Rep. Lee Hein, R-Monticello, and Iowa Sen. Dan Zumbach, R-Ryan, discussed those issues ahead of the beginning of the 2021 legislative session in Des Moines.
Both legislators agreed that the state coffers are in better shape than first thought.
âItâs not as gloomy as I thought it would be,â Zumbach said. âWe are in a position to be responsible with our budgeting and are in a position to do what we have done for the last several years, and thatâs to do education first, give it the biggest piece of the pie.â
