    WATERLOO — Hawkeye Community College faculty will receive a 3.5% salary increase after the board of trustees Monday approved a two-year contract. The contract begins with the 2025-26 academic year and continues in 2026-27, when the salary increase will be 2.75%. It includes a change in the distribution of the raises that allows for variation in the size of the salary boost for individuals rather than a uniform percentage increase.

    CEDAR FALLS — A transformed educational space opened in the fall at the new Cedar Falls High School. With 300,000 square feet, the building at 2701 W. 27th St. is designed to offer greater possibilities for students in academics, the arts and athletics than the aging school it replaced on Division Street. A stadium and other sports fields outside the school’s walls help ensure student athletic needs can be met on the 70-acre campus.
