School tax plan outlines major capital upgrades across Linn County
A Cedar Rapids task force recommends classroom and lab expansions at all three conventional high schools, middle school infrastructure upgrades, elementary additions, and fine arts upgrades. A 1 percent tax could raise about 22.4 million annually for Linn County districts, with funds distributed per pupil for up to 10 years. The district previously funded gymnasiums in 1989 and built several schools from 1914 to 1972, closing eight elementaries between 1981 and 1987.
