Administrators debate Cedar Rapids school closings plan
Cedar Rapids superintendent Dr Marvin Maire told a Kennedy High School board meeting that three junior high schools should not close at once, proposing McKinley close in 1985 and Roosevelt after 1987 if feasible. He endorsed four year high schools while contesting the committee’s broader savings. Public hearings are set for March 9 and 23 to discuss west and east side closings.
