The
Iowa School for the Deaf wants to fill its classrooms with students from other states. The Council Bluffs facility is only at two-thirds capacity. It already accomedates more than a dozen children from Nebraska which lost its school for the deaf 11 years ago. Even though more than 100 students attend the
Iowa School for the Deaf, it could easily handle 50 more. And the dorms built on campus make it especially attractive for out-of-state parents of deaf children looking for education.
