Spencer, Iowa — One point seven million dollars has been secured for Spencer Community Schools to assist with flood recovery and cleanup efforts.
Fourth District Congressman Randy Feenstra from Hull says, “Last summer’s devastating floods hit communities like Spencer especially hard – damaging homes, businesses, and schools. Although months have since passed, I am still working to deliver critical relief so that our communities can rebuild and get back on their feet. I’m glad that my office and I could help Spencer Community Schools secure nearly $2 million to support flood recovery and cleanup efforts. These funds will help get students back in the classroom sooner, and I look forward to seeing Spencer Community Schools fully reopen soon. My office stands ready to assist any school or community with accessing funding for flood recovery.”
Terry Hemann, Superintendent of Spencer Community Schools says, “I thank Congressman Feenstra and his office for helping us navigate a difficult process so that we could secure the funds that we need to reopen and support our students. I encourage any other school impacted by the floods to contact Congressman Feenstra’s office to get the support that they need.”
