Iowa City schools audit reveals district had less money in fiscal 2025 than initially reported

IOWA CITY — The Iowa City school district had almost $38 million less money than it reported in a Certified Annual Report to the state in November 2025, a new audit shows. The fiscal 2025 audit shows the district ended that year June 30, 2025, with $24.5 million across all funds. That’s similar to districts with an enrollment of 3,000 students, according to an analysis of Certified Annual Reports from districts statewide. The Iowa City school district’s enrollment is about 14,400 students. The audit also shows that a capital projects fund — the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy, or PPEL — had a balance of $19.4 million but only $140,633 in cash at the end of fiscal 2025. Another capital projects fund — Secure An Advanced Vision for Education, or SAVE — owed PPEL $20.8 million. The money was used to pay SAVE’s debt payment on time. Overspending Last month, the Iowa City district shared that it overspent SAVE by more than $45 million over four fiscal years, using a fund primarily reserved to pay teacher and staff salaries to spend beyond its means.

Our picks for every IHSAA semifinal game in Iowa high school playoffs

Only two weeks remain in the 2026 Iowa high school football season, with the semifinals this week and s tate championship games next week. The penultimate round of the playoffs runs Wednesday, Nov. 11, through Saturday, Nov. 14, in Cedar Falls. Title games will be held Nov. 19 and 20 at the UNI-Dome. We’re back with another round of predictions this week. Throughout the season, we made educated guesses about who would win the 10 biggest games each week. But for the state semifinals, we're predicting all 14 matchups. We went 61-19 in the regular season, and we went 6-4 in our first set of playoff predictions. In the quarterfinals, we went 7-3, bringing our season-long record to 74-26. Here are our predictions for the Iowa high school football state semifinals . Class 5A Ankeny (9-2) vs. Johnston (10-1), Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. The Hawks' defense gets a lot of credit, but this offense has put up 40-or-more points in four of its last five games. When these two teams met in the regular season, though, Johnston held Ankeny scoreless, and if the Dragons play the same way, they'll find themselves competing for a state championship.
