A public hearing has been scheduled for the Dec. 3 Iowa City City Council meeting to discuss the annexation of Sycamore Street and American Legion Road to the Iowa City School District.

The Iowa City City Council voted 7-0 to set the hearing.

The School District’s proposed south elementary would be built near Sycamore Street, with construction expected to start in 2014 as part of the 10-Year Facilities Plan. The district’s proposed east elementary will be built near American Legion Road, and officials would like to start construction in 2016, district Chief Operating Officer David Dude said.
