The Griswold School Board held a meeting on Monday night and took action on a number of items. A couple of big decisions for the students were made. Griswold Superintendent Dave Henrichs said the decision was made to turn Prom over to the junior class parents and it will no longer be a school function. The date set by that group for the event will be June 27th. He also said a live Graduation Ceremony has now been set for June 28th at 4:00 p.m. in the Griswold High School Gym.

In other items on the board’s agenda they held a public hearing and then approved the letting of bids on the issuance of $1.8 million in School Infrastructure Sales, Services, and Use Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds. The idea Mr. Henrichs said is to try to save some money on those recent bonds.
