Kirkwood's early push to build area vocational education
Jensen served 14 years on the Cedar Rapids Community school board and led efforts for the area school bill of 1965, pushing vocational programs and supporting the creation of Kirkwood Community College. He chaired the new area board in 1966 as Ballantyne guided the district, emphasizing arts as essential to technical training and advocating expanded access for working residents.
