Cedar Rapids district reassigns teachers as enrollment falls
Cedar Rapids officials will reassign 15 certified teachers and 32 paraprofessionals next year due to a drop in special education enrollment from 2,659 in 2007 to 2,471 in 2008. Elementary specials will rotate jobs and travel between schools to focus on content areas. Parents express concern as revenue remains uncertain and the district works through the budget process.
