It's free! Save it. Is there no separation of church and state when it comes to gay and lesbian issues? That was the case in Iowa when state senators rejected the nomination of an openly gay man to the state school board because his homosexuality ran counter to their religious beliefs. Iowa's Democratic governor, Tom Vilsack, nominated Jonathan Wilson, a lawyer who served on the Des Moines school board for 12 years until he lost his reelection bid in 1995 after publicly coming out. Wilson's nomination sparked a controversy, mid on April 13 he came 12 votes short of the 34 needed for confirmation. "I believe [the senators] established a litmus test based on a difference of religious perspectives," Wilson said. "I don't hold the same religious perspectives as they do, and that's what drove this decision."

University of Northern Iowa Department of Education An Iowa Association of School Boards survey shows that at least 516 teachers positions were eliminated due to budget cuts. The school board association's Margaret Buckton said of the state's 371 districts, 201 responded. Of the 201, 61 percent reported laying off workers. Sixty-one percent also reported losing positions through attrition. "The big challenge for schools in the next year will be not merely maintaining, but improving student learning with fewer resources," Buckton said. State aid is a major source of revenue for most school districts. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau says state money makes up about 64 percent of the total revenue for public schools in Iowa. Larry Sigel, school finance director for the school board association, said: "Right now, people are just holding their breath. It's a wait-and-see game. . . . The big question is whether this is just a one-year budget difficulty or a two-year or three-year problem.
