it's almost winter, but plans to close some sioux city pools continue to move forward. today, the sioux city parks and recreation advisory board unanimously approved the proposed plan by the pool committee. the pool committee presented its plan at today's meeting. the plans include closing leeds and cook pools after next season and replacing both facilities with a splash pad. riverside would stay the same. lewis pool would close after a new aquatic center is built in morningside. leif erikson would remain open until the pool is no longer operational. at that time it would be

"the park board has really been engaged in this issue for a long time," "they've been participating in the process along the way. we've been talking about this issue for over a year now. so the park board was prepared to make this decision." the plan approved by both the parks committee and the pool committee will be presented to city council members on january 4th. local lawmakers are preparing for the upcoming legislative session in des moines. sioux city city council held an annual meeting to talk to state lawmakers about what the city has been up to and areas it's trying to improve. some of the topics discussed were tax increment financing, the need for a growing workforce and public transportation funding. "this really helps us to understand some of the issues that they'll deal with on a week to week basis," said iowa state representative chris hall of sioux city. "whether it's economic development or workforce or quality of life issues, it really helps us to set an agenda going into session in january." city council meets with the

this meeting. at the end of the event, each of the lawmakers discussed how they could take specific issues to the session that starts in january. after months of debate, the nebraska school activities association has paved the way for a potential transgender policy for high school athletes in the state. today in norfolk, the association voted to give first-round approval allowing individual school districts to decide what to do with athletes. to determine which gender a student would take part in for activites, documentation and a consultation from a doctor would have to happen first. "we had to do what we felt was in the best interest of those students who've come to us and want to participate in nsaa activities. we believe the policy that's been presented fairly accounts for that as well as provides some other guidance with regard to facilities, such as locker rooms and rest rooms," the nsaa executive director jim tenopir said." the proposal has drawn criticism from both the aclu and nebraska catholic conference. the athlethic board will take action at its next meeting in january in lincoln.

"they showed me a little project and i was supposed to do it and i only made a couple mistakes," said terry murrell, president at western iowa tech community college. "but the student was right there to tell me exactly how and why i made the mistake and you know it was really kind of fun and exciting just to sit down with the students." principal john beeck says it's nice to be able to share their skills with influential local leaders. loess hill's elementary school was one of six state schools to be awarded in a challenge during computer science education week. the school won four- thousand dollars for how it's
