umwsilwarasit INTRODUCTION
Public two-year colleges have developed rapidly in the United
States during the last one hundredyears. In fact, the enrollment
of these institutions, is increasingat a faster rate than that of
any institution of post-high-school education.
There is growing evidence, however, that the rapid growth of
our Country and the changing manpower needs of industry will result
in a changing role for public two-year colleges. It is quite evident
that to meet the needs of the day,our post-high-school education
must become community oriented designed to serve the educational
needs of all people regardless of their educationalor occupational
goals beyond high school.
Originally, two-year colleges aimed their curriculumsat the
person who was planning to go on to another college or university
to earn his bachelor's degree. However, at the present time the
wide needs of our people are placing broader educational demandson
6 our two-year colleges.As Raymond C. Gibson, in his study of Iowa
Junior Colleges, points out in the following statement:
The need for technicians, tradesmen, craft men, and other types of workers with education beyond 1 the high school but with less than a bachelor's degree is increasing, both because of the growth in population and the changing nature of the nation's work. The demand is for workers with a broad general as well as a technical education. This gap in higher education is being filled in several states by a dynamic system of Community Colleges. 2
The County Boards of Clinton, Muscatine and Scott Counties
are fully aware of this gap in our post-high-school education.
Consequently, they are proposing for these three Countiesan
Area Community College which will be concerned with the following
areas:
1. Adult education programs. This area will be generally concerned with in-service training for workers in local industries and apprenticeship programs.
2. Terminal education which will be generally concerned with the vocational and technical education.
3. Transfer courses to senior colleges.
The County Boards are of the opinion thatan Area Community
College of this nature for these three Counties will bea step
forward in filling the gap in our post-high-school education.
This is a new role for the two-year college in Iowa, but it is
absolutely necessary if we are to meet the needs thatare so evident in our Community.
As was pointed out in the Gibson Study, the County Boards hope to put in proper balance the demand for general education and technical education. 3
AN OVERVIEW
The proposed community college and vocational-technical schoolarea known as District IX has many favorable characteristicsto support the request that it be identified and approved as part of the Iowa system of
,community college and vocational-technical education.
The area consists of three counties and includes all of Clinton,
Muscatine and Scott Counties plus other adjacent school districts. The area includes 15 public and 6 priVate and parochial high schools witha total land area of 1,587 square miles,or slightly less than three per cent of the land area of the state.
The area has an excellent system of roads and highways. Transportation facilities are ideal with highways 150) 61, 67, 6, 30, 136, 38, 76,92, and
22 providing rapid, safe and economical transportation from, allparts of the area. Interstate Highway 80 extends through the center of the proposed district.
The population of the proposedarea - 207,967 - was approximately
8 per cent of the state's population in 1960. The density per square mile varied from 77.1 in Muscatine to 262.8 in Scott County, withan average of
139.7 for the area.
The school enrollments grew from 41,561 in 1955-56to 48,681 in
1964-65. The projected school enrollments indicate 70,232 in 1974-75.
These figures would indicate a positive growth in enrollment of about
4 per cent per year during the next tenyears. In 1964-65 the area contained
34,331 pupils enrolled in K-8. The high school enrollment numbered 14,350.
The 1960 census figures indicate that 54,100 of the 710,684,or one out of 12 males employed in the state is working in Area IX. Census figures also indicate that 24,302 of the 308,318,or one out of 11 females employed in the state, is working in Area IX. 4
Occupational area employing large numbers of males Include: professions,
4,771; farming, 4,859; managers and officials, 5,346; craftsmen, 10,661;
operatives, 11,639, inclu ing 2,609 drivers and deliverymen and 2,523 sorvice
workers.
Occupational areas employing large numbers of females include:,Profes-
sions, 2,974; clerical workers, 7,397: sales, 2,353 operatives, 2,013;
household workers, 1,288; and service workers, 4,191.
The Iowa :1;mployment Security Commission reports indicate the following
occupations in demand:
Professional- Licensed practical nurse, draftsmen, electronic workers
Clerical - Secretary, stenographer, clerk-typist, accounting clerk-bookkeeper, and clerk
Skilled - Auto mechanic, welder, farm equipment mechanic, painter, auto body repair, carpenter, and machine operator
Service - Cook, waitress and nurse aid
Miscellaneous - Married farm hand and commission salesman
The proposed curriculum includes work in Technical areas such as
electronics, mechanics, graphic arts, drafting, data processing and health
occupations. Skilled and semi - stilled occupations such as auto mechanic,
machine shop, auto body repair, welding, building trade, farm related
occupations, etc.
Managerial, clerical sales occupations such as typist, stenographer,
office machine operator, sales and distributive training, and management
training. Service occupations such as food service, maids, building main-
tenance, personal service, and dry cleaning and laundry.
It is proposed that an advisory committee be appointed to work with
the elected members of the board to pina and develop the programs offered. I The proposed enrollment figures must be subjected to much speculation.
The area had about 738 drop outs during the 1963-64 schoolyear. Oppor-
tunities for occupational education must andcan be provided for these
through various state and federal programs.
Within the area approximately 2,355 graduated from high school in
1964. About 39 percent did attend four year colleges, about 10 percent
attended junior or community colleges, and about 10 percent attended private
trade, service and business schools.
Retraining and upgrading of skills for adults will no doubt become
a substantial part of the program for the area school. With these factors
in mind, and with the desire of the school people in thearea to build on
a sound educational basis, it is recommended that plans'be made for an
initial enrollment of approximately 1,500 during the firstyear (1965-66).
This enrollment would include the enrollments of the Clinton and Muscatine
Community Colleges and the Davenport Area Vocational-Technical School.
The ability of the proposed area to adequately support a vocational-
technical school is indicated by an assessed valuation of $411,000,000
which would produce $308,250 for building funds and $308,260per year for
operation. Theae funds plus funds from state and federal sources plus
tuition fees will provide a financial base that will provide educational
opportunities at a reasonable cost to the tax payers and to the students.
The proposal requests $442,500 per year State grant for operation and
$924,750 State grant for building-cite and equipment.

District IX has many educational resourc2s that will extend and enrich the programs in the vocational-technical areas and the community colleges. Outstanding in this respect are the following:
1. Two well established junior colleges, one at Clinton and the
other at Muscatine. Each has a new building, well equipped,
with an enrollment in excess of 500 students.
2. A vocational-technical school in Davenport with an enrollment
of 135 full time students in 6 approved programs, with a staff
of 18 full time and 9 part time instructors.
3. Two four year colleges in the area, with another across the
river and very accessible.
4. Six excellent medical hospitals.
5. Three television and seven radio stations.
6. Four daily newspapers.
7. It is estimated that 10,000 craftsmen are employed in the area.
S. One of the largest arsenals in the United States, employing 6.175
persons, many of whom are skilled crnftsmen, is located in this
area.

HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPOSAL
Soon after the publication by the Iowa State Department of Public
Instruction of the bulletin, "Educacion Beyond High School Age - The
Community College," representatives of school districts and county school systems in District IX formed an organization and started meeting regularly with State Department representatives to develop cooperative programs which could be carried on by administrators and schools in
District IX. During the next two years post high school programs were discussed and interest was expressed in the possibility of securing state legislation whlah would make such programs possible on an area 1. basis.
Following passage of the Area Vocational-Technical School and
Community College bill by the Iowa Legislature a meeting of the County
Boards of Education of Clinton, Nuscatine and Scott Counties was held in the Court House at Davenport on June 22. Mr. David Bechtel of the
State Department of Public Instruction and Senator Joseph Cassidy, a member of the Senate Education Committee, were present to explain the new law.
At this meeting the three County Boards of Education adopted a resolution authorizing the county superintendents to make the necessary studies to determine the feasibility of merging the counties into an area in order to implement thislegisfation. It was also agreed that
Iowa State University personnel should be asked to serve as consultants to help with the study. Dr. Ray Bryan has directed the study, and Dr.
Trevor Howe has assisted him. IlwrunrommalftwormiwirawamiwoaremaftwabirilmorsoMOMMer.

A steering committee composed of the three county boeed presidents and the county superintendents was formed at this meeting. The county superintendents were given full authority to proceed with the study.
Shortly after the June 22 meeting Mr. Cassidy was appointed to the
Scott County staff. He has served as the coordinator for the three counties in carrying on this study.
Numerous meetings have been held by the eounty superintendents, steering committee, county boards, and other interested groups. Individ- uals, business and industrial groups, and chambers of commerce have cooperated in the collection of data required in this report.

COUNTY PROJECTIONS OF POPULATION TO 1980

The following estimates shouldprove useful to those concerned with future county populations in specificage categories.
A word of caution isnecessary lest the figures be accepted too liter- ally. The projections are basedupon changes in the age composition experienced in the recent past (tenyears back) and then projected to the near future. The method takes into account changes in fertility which result from changes in theage structure of the county population. Naturally, the fartherone projects, the greater is the probability of 11 error. Thus, the figures for 1970.an be used with greater confidence than those of 1980. The formal assumption upon which the Hamilton- Perry method is basedare as follows:
(1) There are no changes in the relevant definitionsof the population or in the boundaries of thearea whose popula- tion is being projected.
(2) Age, specific rates of mortality and migration donot change between the past decade (say 1950-1960) and thenext decade (say 1960-1970).
(3) The effect of errors of enumeration for thepast two cen- sus (say 1950 and 1960) will be thesame in taking the next (1970) census.
As can be seen, any sharp change inmortality or migration will tend to invalidate the projections.
Two other cautions are in order. First, those counties where the col- lege population formsa large proportion of the total populationmay be subject to errors of two kinds: one, the error in overestimating the fertility of women because of the numberof unmarried college girls; and two, the error caused by rapid fluctuationsin college populations. Second, the results of individual countiesare not additive. Estimates of groups of counties must be computed fromtheir cumulative base populations.

and community college will be designed to maintain, to extend, toimprove
existing programs of vocational education, to develop new programsof
vocational education, and to provide part-time employment foryouths who
need the earnings from such employment to continue theirvocational
training on a full-time basis, so that persons of all ages inall com-
munities of the state - those in high school, those who havecompleted
or discontinued their formal education and arepreparing to enter the
labor market, those who have already entered the labor market butneed
to upgrade their skills or learn new ones, and thosewith special edu-
cational handicaps - will have ready access to vocational training or
retraining which is of high quality, which is realistic in thelight
of actual or anticipated opportunities for gainful employment,and
which is suited to their needs, interests, and abilit tobenefit from
such training. The curriculum that evolves will be decided by the
Board of Directors. The proposed curriculum is designed to meet the
needp of business and industry and still reach individualsof varying
interests and abilities. It is also based on employer requests, list
of demand occupations from the state Employment SecurityCommission,
as well as on an analysis of the businessand industry located within
the area to be served.
The guidance counselors of the school will workwith the state
Employment Security Commission to coordinate theselection of students
for the various programs. The state Employment Security Commission will
be called upon to help in the placement andfollow-up of the graduates
of the school.

Dear Sir:
The Board of Edunation, at their regular annual meeting July 8, 1965 passeda resolution whereby T am authorized to relay our request that the 3ennett Community School District be included in the OlInton-Muscatine-Scott County Area plans for organizing and operating a Community College & Vocational Technical School.
As a member of the Cedar CouoV School system we were included in the Area X planning. However, sirce we are a part of the orig- inal Area IX, sines all of our school district lies within a 20 to 30 mile radius of tne center of Area IX, and since we already have students enrolled at the Davenport Technical School and Muscatine Junior College and at one time Clinton Junior College our students will be better served by the Area IX organization.
We are prepared to work with your planning committee, and we have much of the information you mght need available now. We would be glad to send a oepreeentative from our administration to serve on any of the committees.For your immediate information: our Average Daily Attendance for grades K-12 was 506.7, our gradu- ating class of 1965 had 42 students and our assessed evaluation is $ 5,790,732 for a census of 578, or $ 10,000 per student.
I will be glad to hear from you soon as to your action on our request. Our Superintendent Neil j. Boyle is prepared to supply you with any and all information so that there can be a minimum of delay in negotiating your plans and your request for approval.We are sending a copy of this request to each of the other county Superintendents.
Sincerely Yours,

Mr. Louis L. Pickett Scott County Superintendent ofSchools County Court House Davenport, Iowa Dear Mr. Pickett: It has been brought to my attentionthat there is a possibilitythat a vocational school willbe established in the Clinton,Muscatine, and Scott counties area. Inasmuch as avocational school would serve, for somedistance, an area surroundingits location it would seem very possible that theproposed school could also serve the Northern portionof Louisa County.It also seems to be a fact that many of the people in thistrading area tend toward Muscatine and Davenport for their( out of ColumbusJunction) shopping. Since public opinion will help,to some degree, in selecting a site for this vocationalschool, I will go onrecord so far as making my choice.In view of the factsmentioned above, I think it would be very logical tolocate a vocationalschool in a central area of the counties of Muscatine,Clinton, and Scott, and could also very easily serve theNorthern half of LouisaCounty. Further than this, it is also a factthat the vocationalschool would work in conjunction with a JuniorCollege. Muscatine hassuch a Junior College, and many ofthe students from this areafavor it. Trusting that this letter and thestatements therein will helpto some degree in decidingwhere to locate thevocational school, I remain, Very truly yours,

Dear Sir: Iam writing ii, regard to the proposed formation of a vo cational technical school in the MuscatineDavenportClin ton area and the possibility of the Columbus Community Dis trict being included in the area.
As a school board official it would seem more feasible for us to be included iv this area than one that might be formed to the south. We seem to have several seniors that attend Junior College at Muscatine and none that go soutt to Bur lington. At the same time students that Re on to get advanced commercial training tend togo to Davenport rather than Burlington.
As a farmer our trade areas seem to be up the Mississippi River rather than down river. W' also seem to go to Muscatine for medical services. Consequently, our contact with the area to the south is very limited.
As farmers we have a di finite interest in the formation of such a schoolso the services that we require may be performed by better qualified personnel and the results will be more satisfactory tous.
I sincerely urge the formation of this school and that we be included in thearea. RespectfullA,,

Since we are in the very corner of Cedar County and closer to Area IX, it is most advisable that we should join this district.

Dear Mr. Rolston:
understand that preliminary wort,is being done for the establishment of a vocational school in this area.
We, at the Home-O-Ni ze Co., feel there is a great need for such a school. We arc confronted almost continuously with a lack of job applicants with any skills or background for the ohs which we have to fit,. We arc forced to use untrained help and attempt to do what training we can to develop a satis- factory work force. There is certainly much that could be taught in a voca- tional school which would prepare men and women to he much more useful and much more valuable employees to our firm.
certainly want to encourage you to exert every effort to establish such a school close enough to Muscatine that the graduates would Wavailable to our industry here. If there is any way in which we can help to get such a school established, please inform us.
Yours very truly,
HOME-O-NIZE CO. ,t // 02,7

Dear Sir:
Please oe advised that our t;ompany is vitally interested in the establishment of a Vocational School in this immediate area. The type of training i:.volvedwould be of tremendous importance and telp for our present awl future man power needs.The Muscatine area is very seriously lackiLe in semi-skilled workers. The present .Lal.or pool does not supply men with adequate backgrounds even for training purposes.

- On the basis of the limited information currently available GrainPro- cessing Corporation endorses the establishment of a Vocational School inthe vicinity of Muscatine County if certain policies would be in effect for the operation of such a school. We are of the opinion that the Vocational School should beoperated efficiently by teaching vocational skills on as broad a basis as possible. We feel that teaching of narrow skills useful to only onefactory or plant in the area and particularly the purchase of expensive equipment toteach such 'narrow skills should be avoided. We are also of the opinion that graduates should have provencompetence in the skills to the level taught, should haveshown ambition and initiative and be of satisfactory moral character.In other words graduates should be desirable candidates for employment by industry or such a schoolwould serve little purpose. We would be happy to discuss this with you in greaterdepth if.you so desire. Very truly yours,

OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT September 14, 1965
Mr. L. L. Pickett Scott County Superintendent of Schools Scott County Courthouse Davenport, Iowa
Dear Mr. Pickett,
The Board of Directors, The School Townshipof Pleasant Valley, at its regu- lar meeting last night, instructed me to convey to youtheir feelings regarding an Area Community College andVocational-Technical School.
The Board strongly urges the creation of an areacommunity college and vocational technical school district.
Fewer than one half of our graduates receiveformal training beyond high school. The cost of food and lodging away from home is afactor. The increasing com- petition for acceptance by a college oruniversity is a handicap to some.
For others college training fails to fulfillthe needs of the individual.Many of our students know they need additional training, yetthey do not aspire to a college program. The availability of competent vocationaland technical training would often satisfy the needs of thesestudents.
The demands of today's technology makes posthigh school education and/or training imperative for most youth.
The School Township of Pleasant Valley does not havesufficient students nor financial resources to provide community college orvocational-technical train- ing programs. Nor does this district feel justified inpaying tuition for such programs without a voice in their management. By the same token we feel that the operation of a post high school training programis a highly technical and time consumiqg operation in itself.A consideration of these mattershas con- vinced our Board that the soundest solution tothe problem lies in the creation of an Area Community College and Vocational-TechnicalSchool District of sufficient size to provide sufficient enrollmentand monies to support a comprehensive program. It would seem that the Iowa areawithin a radius of 35-40 miles of Davenport should be ideally suitedfor such a district.
Sincerely yours, /
James C. Ulum / Superintendent
