The Griswold School Board Monday evening held-off on approving the 2014-2015 District Calendar. The decision followed a public hearing on the Early Start Waiver and conversion to an hour-based calendar, during which there were no comments from the public. Superintendent Dana Kunze said the Board did not approve the calendar as presented, and will instead, make some suggestions to the teachers group that made the initial proposal, and “re-work that.”

Kunze said the reason they didn’t approve the calendar was essentially for the same reason many schools don’t want to start too early. He said “The start date looking like it’s creeping earlier and earlier into August, and that was something they were concerned about.”

In other business, the Griswold School Board Monday, approved the list of Cass County Sheriff’s officials who applied for authorization to carry weapons while they are off-duty, on school grounds. They include Sheriff Darby McLaren, and Chief Deputy Sheriff John Westering, and Deputies Corey Larsen, Kyle Quist and Ryan Johnson.
