We believe every parent, taxpayer, and school board member deserves easy access to the facts about local education.

That’s why we created ITR Report Card—a powerful new tool that brings transparency to your school district’s performance and spending.

Whether you’re a parent wanting the best for your child, a taxpayer who wants to know how your dollars are being spent, or a community leader shaping policy—this website is for you.

“As both a policy researcher and a mom of three, I know how important it is to have trustworthy information about our schools,” said Sarah Curry, Research Director at Iowans for Tax Relief Foundation. “Too often, parents and school board members want to be engaged but simply don’t have the data they need. The ITR Report Card changes that. It’s about facts, not politics—ensuring every child in Iowa has access to a quality education and every taxpayer knows how their dollars are being spent.”

The interactive website allows users to view spending metrics, performance profiles, enrollment trends, and more—all in a format that’s accessible and easy to understand.
