Kirkwood Board Considers Major Building Plans
Kirkwood Community College directors began reviewing extensive new facilities, but funding remains uncertain. A levy funds the projects, while interest rates and a potential $7.5 million serial note loan at 7 percent are under scrutiny. The board also moves to legalize last fall's levy and eyed campus expansions and shared governance with nearby education agencies.

CETA staff oppose proposed job training bill
Iowa CETA administrators say a new federal bill to provide eight weeks of training and 72 weeks of job placement for the unemployed would add unnecessary bureaucracy. They argue CETA already delivers similar services and often more efficiently, with added costs from required record keeping. The Linn County and Cedar Rapids CETA offices oversee locally run programs funded by federal grants for adults and youths.
