Grant Wood AEA drops plan to reshape Special Education
Grant Wood Area Education Agency board halted the March proposed restructuring of the Special Education Division citing lack of staff acceptance. The plan would have created multispecialty teams and a single school contact, with concerns about supervisors outside specialists. The board may study alternatives and consider a needs assessment next year. The meeting also approved 1985-86 budget amendments and selected an architectural firm to design a new Coralville Iowa City AEA facility.
