Iowa City School Board to discuss and vote on SILO fund clause wording

The Iowa City School District Governance Committee discussed the language of a clause in the Superintendent Limitation on Monday morning.

The current clause states for Superintendent Steve Murley to set aside $20 million for elementary-school construction and $32 million for construction of a new high school from the school-infrastructure local option tax funds.

The School Board will discuss and vote on the wording for the clause. It is unclear on which direction the board will vote.

“It was brought up at the last board meeting,” said Marla Swesey, the board president and a Governance Committee member. “We put it on the agenda and the wordage was off. The governance chair didn’t have the words in front of her, so we couldn’t talk about the exact wording.”
