The Griswold School Board met Monday evening and passed a Resolution to set a Public Hearing for issuance of approximately $1.8-million in Sales Tax Refunding Bonds. Superintendent Dave Henrichs says the move would save the district thousands of dollars in interest fees.

(If the voters approve, the district will refinance its Sales Tax Bonds that was used for infrastructure improvements. It would save the district about $80,000 over the next 10-years.)

Henrichs said the next step in the process is a Public Hearing on June 15^th. At the hearing, the Board will discuss the reasons for issuing the bonds, followed by a period of time for petitions to be filed if anyone objects. Henrichs doesn’t expected that will the case, because it doesn’t cost the district anything, and saves money. There were numerous staffing changes made during Monday night’s meeting, beginning with the resignations.

There were also a couple of transfers.

And, there were a handful of new hires.

Henrichs says they’re only missing one Special Education assignment for next year, otherwise their certified staff are ready to go for the coming school year. Dave Henrichs said also, there are very few changes in the nutrition and lunch fees for next year. Activity pass fees remain the same. Last year the district started admitting Griswold students free to all home event. That’s unchanged as well. The Technology fee was changed last month from $40 per student to a $30 book fee per student.
