In accordance with Iowa Code, the district is required to provide an opportunity for public comment on the amended budget proposal. We propose a hearing be scheduled for

Districts are required to post the hearing notice in its designated newspaper no less than 10 days and no more than 20 days prior to the date of the public hearing.
