Cedar Rapids School Board backs elective plan change
The Cedar Rapids Community school board narrowly approved changes to middle school electives by a 4-3 vote despite strong public opposition. The plan drops foreign language and adds a daily personal development class while offering more music opportunities, critics warn it could hurt college readiness and band programs. The board also approved a pilot all-day kindergarten program at four elementary schools with one dissenting vote.
