Cedar Rapids teachers provide special ed in Xavier Catholic schools

CEDAR RAPIDS — As more students in Xavier Catholic Schools need extra learning support, the Cedar Rapids school district has placed three special education teachers inside the Catholic school buildings, so students no longer have to leave to get assistance. Previously, students in the Xavier Catholic Schools system who qualified for special education were bused to a nearby Cedar Rapids public school to receive those services. Students with the most academic challenges would leave school, ride a bus and arrive at a new school in Xavier dress code, standing out from their peers. They could miss recess, lunch with their grade level, and even some of their general education classes. Transporting so many students also was costly for the Cedar Rapids district. By state law, a school district must provide special education programs and services to eligible students in non-public schools to the same extent they are provided to public school students. So the two school systems launched a pilot program, placing Cedar Rapids teachers within Xavier Catholic Schools to provide special education services on site. “Now, we have somebody in schools who’s an advocate for these kids, who understands how their learning is unique.

High school football playoff rewind: Maquoketa Valley stuns Madrid

CEDAR RAPIDS — Let’s let Andrew Christensen describe his Maquoketa Valley football team’s playoff game Friday night in a succinct and obviously on-point manner. “We played our best game of the year,” Christensen said. And that was good enough for the Wildcats not to just upset fourth-ranked Madrid in a Class A Round of 16 affair in central Iowa, but smash Madrid, 34-0. Few saw this coming. The winner and the margin. “We kicked off to them, and they got, I wouldn’t say big plays, but bigger plays on us,” Christensen said. “But then we kind of buckled down and stuff. We were just efficient offensively, I’d say, all night, running the ball and passing it just well enough. I mean, I was really proud of how physical we were tonight.” Running back Rogan Heidt ran 32 times for 152 yards and three touchdowns for the Wildcats (7-3), who were third-seeded in their own district, albeit a power-packed one that includes fellow quarterfinalist North Linn. Maquoketa Valley scored a TD in each quarter, including two in the fourth to put the proverbial icing on the cake. Quarterback Trevor Grimm completed 7 of 8 passes for 125 yards and scored twice
