Four-County Board Rejects Education Equalization Plan
The joint four-county school board split 3-3 on a plan to fund all special education classes, with positions and programs mostly managed by local districts. Some members opposed tax increases, while others argued the measure would relieve Cedar Rapids and Iowa City residents but raise four-county levies. The board will revisit the issue next week at the Coralville service center.
