The school board for the Lenox Community School District spent about 45-minutes to an hour Thursday evening discussing how they wish to proceed with a possible Superintendent sharing agreement between the Lenox and Griswold Community School Districts. Lenox High School Principal Mike Still told KJAN News the Lenox School Board voted unanimously (5-0), to continue pursuing sharing with Griswold.

The Griswold School Board voted earlier this week to continue with discussions, as well. Still says there’s a number of things that need to take place before anything is set in stone. He says Superintendent Dave Henrichs will likely go to Griswold and meet with the Griswold School District’s Board and staff, and then hold a community forum. The Griswold Board will then determine the next steps.

If Henrichs ultimately becomes the shared Superintendent for both districts, it’ll be a bit of a commute for him, but it’s better than the alternatives. Still says an hour’s drive is better than a two-hour drive.

Lenox Community School District serves the counties of Adams, Ringgold, Taylor, and Union in southern Iowa.
