Kirkwood Community College has 10 locations across the area, including one in Washington, which can cause some confusion when winter weather causes delays or cancellations. Tera Pickens, director of the Kirkwood Washington Regional Center, explains if Kirkwood’s main campus in Cedar Rapids cancels courses, then all satellite locations also close for the day. This means some high school students who take classes both at the regional center and at their high school will still report to their high school classes but not those at Kirkwood.
Pickens shares they get this information out to students and staff on those mornings on KCII Radio and through an internal text message system. For more information listen to today’s Washington Page with Pickens.
