Abuse records reveal sexual and physical harm at Iowa School for the Deaf
In a Pottawattamie County suit settled this month nine former students received nearly 2 million dollars for abuse prior to 1985 at the Iowa School for the Deaf in Council Bluffs. Depositions allege administrators ignored abuses and failed to stop them. Superintendent C Joseph Giangreco denies prior knowledge. New head William P Johnson says reforms include a child abuse reporting system and stricter staff review.
