Students, teachers, administrators, parents, and members of the Davenport school board will travel to Des Moines on Monday for their annual lobby day. But this year, they have a very specific goal in mind - convince the powers-that-be to fix the school funding formula.
Recently the board gave its support to Superintendent Art Tate who wants to spend more next year than the formula allows - despite having million of dollars in reserve funds, it's forced to spend much less per student than nearby districts.
Board president Ralph Johanson.
As they did last year, students from Davenport will wear t-shirts saying "I'm Worth Less" when they meet with the governor and legislators.
