Linn-Mar school board proposes to allocate half of Superintendent Glen Easterday’s time to Marion Independent, with Marion paying half of the salary. The plan would allow joint meetings, 20 hours weekly for Easterday at Marion, and a two Linn-Mar hours to one Marion hour delegation. Marion and Linn-Mar boards will meet to discuss, with Marion voting on Aug. 17 and Linn-Mar awaiting reply by Aug. 21. The move aims to stabilize shared programs and a possible merger, amid questions about Cedar Rapids competition and district goals.
