Iowa City schools has no plan to fix $2 million activity fund deficit

Iowa City school leaders still have no plan to make whole the student activity fund — which is $2.2 million in the red — a shortfall that could have begun building over a decade ago. “It’s hard to punish today or tomorrow’s students for issues that could go back as many as 10 years or more,” the district’s chief operating officer Curt Pratt told a Financial Oversight Committee last week. “Some funds are negative — upward of six figures … there’s no easy solution by any means.” For more than a decade, the Iowa City Community School District has been supplementing the Activity Fund — which pays for student extracurricular programs like athletics, music, clubs and other school-sponsored activities — with a fund used to pay staff salaries, district officials revealed in June. The district has transferred about $4.5 million from the general fund to the Activity Fund since fiscal year 2015. Pratt and CFO Pat Moore recommended the district develop and adhere to an annual activity budget to ensure student programs operate within their available resources and provide greater accountability for the use of student-generated funds. The fund is $2.2 million in debt, Moore said last week. The first

Johnson County Conservation settles open meetings lawsuit

The Johnson County Conservation Board has settled with the estate of former conservation director Larry Gullet and former operations superintendent Wade Schultz over an open records dispute.

The report specifically mentioned two Johnson County employees − Schultz and Gullet, who were placed on immediate administrative leave on June 6, 2024. Larry Gullet died in September 2024 , and the lawsuit was filed by his widow on his behalf, according to court filings.
