Cooperative Program Benefits County Pupils
County pupils outside Cedar Rapids will receive a 65 percent rise in special education services under a new cooperative program with the Cedar Rapids district. The county paid 50000 dollars to Cedar Rapids and collected 10000 dollars in state reimbursement for speech therapy and psychological services. About 400 to 500 county students used speech therapy and over 300 were referred to psychologists, with the program supervised by Bill Gearheart. The arrangement reduced Cedar Rapids staff needs and cut overall tax costs, with the county hoping to increase payments next year.
