Washington School Board opposes moving district psychologist office
The Washington Community School District Board of Education rejected a proposal by Dr. Myron Rodee to relocate the district psychologist’s office from the Administration Building to Grant Wood Area Education Agency facilities in Coralville. They argued driving time would waste money as Marsha Camblin leaves for Cedar Rapids, and cited space built for the district years ago. The board also argued a $783 Mississippi Bend AEA tuition bill for a former student is not payable since the student no longer resides in the district.
