Dillon’s Rule versus Home Rule
School Districts Dillon's Rule - Doctrine of enumerated powers to construe school board authority.
Meaning: Schools can only do what is expressly authorized in law or rule.
Iowa Code 274.3 (2016 Session) - New law that allows district to exercise any board
and implied power not inconsistent with the law…(Consider this Home-Rule Lite)
Meaning: There may be some oppurtunity to innovate if law doesn't prohibit it.
Cities/Counties Home Rule - Constitutional provision that provides cities/counties a broad
interpretation of authority.
Meaning: Cities and Counties can manage their own affairs as they deem appropriate
long as the law doesn't expressly prohibit it.

• K-12 funding is the largest portion of the State budget
• Setting supplemental state aid (SSA) is the biggest finance
decision the legislature makes every year
• SSA is added to current year per pupil cost to determine next
year’s per pupil cost
• Budget guarantee helps districts maintain 101% of funding
for one year, while district makes tough spending decisions

• Atlantic CSD held the employment contract
• Atlantic CSD would invoice the sharing district
• Transportation Director – 80%/20% (1 day/week)
• School Business Official – 70%/30% (1.5 day/week)
PROS:
• District’s working together
• Positive impact to financial position in General Fund
CONS:
• It can be difficult to manage time between the two districts
• Receiving district still needs an employee for day-to-day
operations
• Currently set to expire in FY24, so it is not a long-term solution

Basic Formula to Fund Spending Authority
Uniform
Property
Levy
1 – Every district provides property tax of $5.40/$1,000 of
its taxable valuation
State Aid 2 – Funds amt. needed for foundation level of 88.4% NEW!
- Funds 100% of state categorical supplements
- Provides property tax relief, including 100% of SSA
- Funds the AEA foundation level (79.0%)
- Funds preschool formula aid
Additional
Levy
3 - Funds the difference between the combined district
cost and what’s funded from state aid and the uniform levy
