Officials in some Iowa school districts are asking teachers to reconsider previously agreed-to cash gifting as a way to cut expenses in ever-tightening budgets.School boards in about 15 of Iowa's 361 school districts agreed to multi-year contracts with teachers before knowing the extent of the current economic crisis and the effect it would have on funding.
