Last Thursday, the Griswold School Board voted to explore a three-way Superintendent sharing agreement with two, unidentified school districts, pending approval by the other boards. Monday night, the South Page School District’s Board of Education approved the proposed sharing of their Superintendent Gregg Cruickshank, with the Griswold and Sidney Community School Districts.

Under the proposal, Sidney and Griswold would get 40% of Cruickshank’s time, or about two-days per week each. The remaining 20%, or one-day per week, would be spent in South Page. The proposed agreement would also involve a one-third cost-sharing contract. The arrangement would be for one-year, to start, with an evaluation taking place between late this fall and March 1^st, 2017. The arrangement would save the Griswold District $127,000 per year, in a time when they’re looking at cutting $500,000 from the budget.

The Sidney School Board is set to vote April 18^th on the proposal.
