Regents Seek to Keep Vinton Braille School Under Board
The Iowa State Board of Regents argues for continuing control of the Vinton Braille and Sight Saving School and the Iowa School for the Deaf in Council Bluffs. Regents say the schools’ educational mission, university collaborations, and research needs require governance by the Regents rather than a welfare agency, amid fears of a 1970 legislative push to shift control to the Iowa Commission for the Blind. The board cites partnerships with the University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa, staff expertise, and the aim to educate visually and hearing impaired children within an educational framework.
