DES MOINES, Iowa - With service cuts looming in the near future and with no solid legislative solution in the works the Parents of Day Care for Exceptional Children are taking matters into their own hands. Tuesday, April 10 at 9am parents and their children along with friends, family and past daycare families will gather at the state capital to ask for the legislature’s support in working towards a solution that will not result in any mental health funding cuts.
Currently the Senate is planning to provide an additional $11.7M in funding to counties for MH/DD services. Unfortunately this does not solve the funding shortfall as the counties need $16M - $19M in additional funding on top of the pre-appropriated growth of $4M to prevent service cuts.
If you would like more information on the day at the capital please contact us through the comments in the lower right corner of this post.
