Students and Parents Rally Against Teacher Cuts at Iowa City West
Hundreds of Iowa City West High students gathered in the courtyard to protest proposed district wide cuts of 22 teaching positions. Organizer Izaak Sunleaf said the event would be shared with leaders as voices emphasize smaller class sizes. Parents echoed concerns that education shapes the future and urged keeping classrooms under 45 students. The school board meets Tuesday at 6 pm as Superintendent Marley aims to finalize cuts by April 30.
