School Board Implements 300 Foot School Zone Rule
The Cedar Rapids school board recommended no commercial or industrial zones within 300 feet of school property and will send a letter to the City Plan Commission for consideration with the city zoning revision. They discuss bond sales for two new high schools and possible early partial issuance. A Schaeffer Heights delegation seeks more bus service, and personnel and equipment changes were approved including new staff, resignations, and renovations.
