IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa and six other attorneys want state rules changed regarding public schools’ use of padded seclusion rooms and physical restraints.
The ACLU and the attorneys last week filed a petition for rulemaking with the Iowa Education Department. The petition asks the department to change Iowa Administrative Code to ensure seclusion and physical restraints are used only for emergencies and as a last resort and are never used to punish children.
The petition was filed less than a month after an Education Department review found that the Iowa City Community School District on occasion sent students to seclusion rooms for minor infractions: stepping out of line, having an attitude, being out of instructional control or using foul language.
Officials with the Cass County Health System in Atlantic report beginning July 5th, Roger Drown, Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, will move out of Southwest Iowa Surgery and into Atlantic Medical Center, where he will continue providing foot and ankle care for all ages. CCHS CEO Brett Altman said of the change, “We are very fortunate to have such an excellent foot and ankle surgeon caring for our patients here at CCHS. There should not be any disruption in patient care with this change in clinic location.”
Dr. Drown began caring for patients at Cass County Health System in 2011 as a visiting specialist. In 2014, he moved his practice to CCHS. He performs a wide range of surgical procedures. All treatments are performed at Cass County Memorial Hospital and most surgeries are done on an outpatient basis.
Southwest Iowa Surgery will continue to schedule appointments through the end of June, but starting on July 3rd appointments with Dr. Drown can be made by calling the Atlantic Medical Center at 712-243-2850.

Unofficial results from the Pottawattamie County Auditor’s Office late Tuesday night, indicated Republican Jon Jacobsen had won a Special Election for Iowa House District 22, to fill a vacancy created in May, by the death of Representative Greg Forristall. Jacobsen currently serves as the Senior Trust Officer and Vice President of a bank in Council Bluffs.
According to the Auditor’s Office, Jacobsen garnered nearly 44-percent of the vote (1,069) votes. Carol Forristall, the widow of the late Greg Forristall, who was running as an Independent, received nearly one-third of the votes (803). Democrat Ray Stevens, who ran as a write-in candidate, received just over 19-percent of the votes (465). And, Libertarian candidate Bryan Holder received 98 votes or slightly more than four-percent.
Voter turnout was a little more than 9.5-percent, with 2,441 voters being cast out of 23,723 registered voters in the 16 precincts. Six were blank.
