IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Five teachers at the Iowa School for the Deaf in Council Bluffs could lose their jobs under a cost-saving measure being considered by the Iowa Board of Regents. The school’s superintendent has notified the five faculty

members she is moving to terminate their contracts because of a lack of funding.

The regents, who govern the school, will consider approving a request to approve the layoffs during a meeting in Ames next week. The school serves students from Iowa and Nebraska who are deaf or hard-of-hearing from preschool through age 21.
