Enrollment committee shifts tone on Cedar Rapids closures
The 11 member Enrollment Impact Study Committee in Cedar Rapids backed away from closing Wilson Junior High and added McKinley Roosevelt and Jackson or Van Buren as potential closings. They also recommended moving ninth grade to senior high buildings in 1983 and identified Squaw Creek Adams Adams as possible closures with rates hinging on a middle school plan. The panel will present final recommendations Feb 9 and the school board will decide later this year.

Hiawatha Council Holds Open Hearing On Revenue Funds
No suggestions were offered for use of about $15,000 in revenue sharing funds at a one hour hearing. City Clerk Joan Biederman said the meeting drew no proposals and no decisions were made. The council set February 4 1981 to discuss the 1981 82 budget and awaited Cedar Rapids bus service extension feedback. It accepted a 8459 06 bid for a new police car, gave second reading to a six foot leash animal ordinance, re appointed Lew Wheeler to a six year water board term, and decided to auction three pieces of old firefighting gear this spring.
