And, there were some new hires.

In other business, the Griswold School Board opted not to change the status of registration fees, which they have not had since 1995-’96. There will also be no changes to the nutrition prices because of a healthy balance in the Nutrition Fund. Hot lunches will still be $3.70 for adults, $2.50 for Pre-K through 5th grade students, and $2.70 for 6th through 12th grade students. There is however, a change in the Activity Pass Fee for 2018-19.  That’s because the District is becoming part of the Corner Conference, and in accordance with their policy, Griswold will charge for Junior High Events, which is something they haven’t done in the past. The Junior High Activity Fee will be $3 for adults and $2 for students. The High School Activity fee will remain the same, at $5 for adults, $3 for students, $4 for Senior Citizens. Adults can get a year-long activity pass for $85, students year-long fee $40.

And, after hearing no comments from the public during separate hearings, the Griswold School Board approved a 2017-18 Budget Amendment. They also approved the renewal of the 5-year Instructional Support Levy, which begins in 2019.
