Branstad hears Vinton group seek to save blind school
A Vinton delegation including a blind student urged Gov. Branstad to keep the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School, arguing merging with the Council Bluffs Deaf School would not save money and could harm education. They noted costs of moving, renovations, and ongoing care, and urged alternatives for using the Vinton facility.
