The Iowa 61st General Assembly in 1965 approved legislation permitting the development of a statewide system of post-secondary educational institutions, identified as merged area schools, operated under the direction of the State Board of Education. The boards of education of county school systems were authorized to plan for the merger of county school systems, or parts thereof, to develop a merged area. Each merged area was required to have a minimum of 4,000 public and private pupils in grades nine through twelve. The merged areas were authorized to develop area schools as either area colleges or area vocational schools.

The legislation permitting the development of the two-year colleges provided a procedure whereby the public junior colleges operated by local public school districts could be integrated into the community colleges. There were 16 public junior colleges operating in Iowa at the time the community colleges were organized. The first public junior college in Iowa, Mason City Junior College, was organized in 1918. All 16 public junior colleges merged with these new institutions.

The Department of Education was to direct the operations of the development of merged area schools as either community colleges or area vocational schools (Chapter 260C of the Code of Iowa). A number of these merged area schools were formed from or later combined with existing public junior colleges. Merged area schools were also referred to as "area vocational or technical schools"" or "community colleges," depending on their primary mission.

The statement of policy contained in the original enabling legislation and amended in 1967, 1985, 1990, and 1993 identifies the following categories as appropriate educational opportunities and services to be provided:

1. The first two years of college work including pre-professional education.
2. Vocational and technical training.
3. Programs for in-service training and retraining of workers.
4. Programs for high school completion for students of post-high school age.
5. Programs for all students of high school age who may best serve themselves by enrolling for vocational and technical training while also enrolled in a local high school, public or private.
6. Programs for students of high school age to provide advanced college placement courses not taught in a student's high school.
7. Student personnel services.
8. Community services.
9. Vocational education for persons who have academic, socio-economic or handicaps which prevent succeeding in regular vocational education programs.
10. Training, retraining, and all necessary preparation for productive employment of all citizens.
11. Vocational and training for persons who are not enrolled in a high school and who have not completed high school.
12. Developmental education for persons who are academically or personally under-prepared to succeed in their program or study.

Standards were developed in 1965 to facilitate the development of these post-secondary institutions. A new state accreditation process based on evaluation criteria were developed and approved by the Iowa State Board of Education in 1994.

The provision for funding of area schools was provided through a combination of federal, state, and local funds, and students' tuition. Funding includes a local tax of 20 1/4 cents per $1,000 of assessed value on property within the merged area for operational funds and an additional tax not exceeding 20 1/4 cents per $1,000 of assessed value for the purchase of sites and construction of buildings. The levy for sites and construction must be approved by the voters in the merged area for a period not to exceed 10 years. General state aid was distributed to community colleges on the basis of line item appropriations by the General Assembly until 1986 when a state foundation aid formula was approved by the General Assembly. The individual community colleges have the authority to establish tuition. Tuition for residents of Iowa, however, is not to exceed the lowest tuition rate per semester, or the equivalent, charged by the three state universities.

There are currently 15 comprehensive community colleges serving the 15 merged areas, including all of the 99 counties in Iowa. All 15 community colleges are approved currently by the State Board of Education. The 73rd General Assembly in 1990 changed the name - merged area schools to community colleges and a statutory council to the State Board of Education, the Community College Council, was established to advise the board on significant community college issues.

Ten of the community colleges have developed multi-campus institutions. A total of 30 major campuses are now operated by community colleges with additional programs located on numerous smaller, satellite attendance centers through the merged areas.

Community colleges offer a wide variety of instructional services depending on local needs in the individual merged area. The services are offered through the three major instructional divisions of adult education, vocational-technical education, and arts and sciences education. The adult education division includes adult basic education, high school completion courses for adults, and continuing and general education courses of interest to adults. Vocational education programs include supplementary courses for employed individuals who are in need of occupational upgrading and preparatory programs to prepare individuals for immediate employment or for further education. Arts and sciences programs are the equivalent of the first two years of a four-year college program. In addition, specialized programs, services, and activities are provided for special populations, for the handicapped and disadvantaged, and customized training is provided for business and industry.

Credit enrollment for all community colleges for fiscal year 1998 was 96,877 (excluding adult education and secondary programs operated at local high schools). Arts and sciences end of year credit enrollment was 64,034 and vocational end of year credit enrollment was 32,843. Adult and continuing education enrollment for the 1997-1998 school year was 724,673. (This enrollment is subject to duplication).
