In early June of 2008 Washington Irving Elementary School in Waverly, Iowa was virtually destroyed by severe flooding. After a year in a temporary facility things are looking brighter for this Iowa community. On April 7, 2009 the citizens of Waverly passed an $18.925 million bond referendum by a 65.3% approval margin to rebuild the damaged schools. Additionally, a grant from FEMA in the amount of $9.375 million for the relocation and restoration of Washington Irving School has entered the final approval process.
