The Iowa Central Community College Board of Directors is about 30 steps closer to finding a new president of the college.
The applications for the open president position closed on Jan. 28 and the college received “upwards of 30” applications, according to Board President Mark Crimmins.
For the next couple weeks, Crimmins is asking the board members to review those applications to determine which applicants will advance to the next part of the process.
“We are just in the last stages of establishing a search committee, which is going to be made up from a variety of areas of the college and outside of the college,” Crimmins said. “What we’re attempting to do as a search committee is get a wide range of representation, but at the same time keep it at a manageable level.”

FAIRBURY A high school plan for addressing student deficiencies was shared with members of the Prairie Central Board of Education Thursday night during the regular January meeting.
Prairie Central High School Principal Brad Allen explained the process which looks at grade trends with comparisons to the previous year. A significant difference was discovered. There were 122 failing grades in 2019-2020 with 336 in 2020-2021. Out of the 336 failing grades, 138 students are responsible for those numbers of failures, according to Allen.
“We wished we could have attacked this sooner,” Allen said. “Every time you solve a problem, two more pop up.”
