Schools plan aims to balance district reorganization
A task force proposes moving kindergarten through sixth grade from Squaw Creek and Eisenhower to Grant Wood, Erskine, and other elementary schools while establishing a special programs center at Eisenhower. The plan reassigns 138 students south of Mount Vernon Road to Grant Wood and Erskine and preserves neighborhood school concepts amid declining enrollment and financial considerations.

Cedar Rapids junior high hours cut with enrollment drop
Cedar Rapids Community School Board approved new junior high instruction hours, prompting a projected substantial staff reduction in 1977-78 due to a 6.46 percent enrollment decline across six schools. Total hours rise in several subjects with electives preserved, and staff cuts depend on elective popularity and class needs.
