(Griswold, Iowa) – Griswold School District Superintendent Dave Henrichs, today (Wednesday), issued a brief statement with regard to a special meeting that had been scheduled to take place Thursday evening. Henrichs said “The appeal request has been withdrawn. Therefore, the Oct. 5 special meeting / hearing has been cancelled.”

As we previously reported on KJAN, the Griswold School Board was set to meet at 6:30-p.m., Thursday, to conduct a hearing on “Imposed disciplinary action of a patron,” and includes action on a motion to “Affirm or overturn [the] Administration’s Disciplinary Action imposed on a patron.”

Henrichs told KJAN News that the incident which sparked the disciplinary action against the patron, occurred during a football game on Sept. 22nd, but he didn’t elaborate on what type of incident took place.
