Authorities say a 2006 Dodge driven by 50-year old Clarence Kier, of Shenandoah, and a 2012 semi driven by 57-year old Darwin Shires, of Corning, were legally stopped in traffic due to a traffic backup in a road construction zone. A 2010 Dodge driven by 72-year old Lyle Shannon, of Washington, NE., was traveling west on Highway 34, and did not see the stopped vehicles in front of him. His vehicle struck the rear of the Chevy at highway speed, causing the vehicle to be pushed into the rear of the semi.
Shannon and Kier were transported to the hospital. The driver of the semi was not injured. Lyle Shannon was cited for Failure to reduce speed to a reasonable and proper rate.
The Griswold School Board, Monday evening, approved several matters, including personnel hires. Superintendent Dave Henrichs say the Board approved the following new hires:
They also approved a one-year leave of absence for Lisa Rush – Cook, and a contract termination for Trish McKinley. Henrichs said the board heard a brief update from their partners at FRK Architects and Estes Construction, with regard to the District’s new facilities. He said the project is very near completion. The Board approved up to $600 for the “Brainfuse” program, which allows anyone at the Griswold of Lewis Libraries who has a library card, to have access to online tutoring, a writing lab and ACT test prep.
In other business, the Griswold Board approved Depositories for the year, a Request for Allowable Growth and Supplemental Aid for 2018-19 Special Education Deficit. Last year, the District’s Special Ed Deficit was $120,000, as compared to $264,000 the year before. Henrichs said they “Greatly decreased” the deficit. Henrichs said also the Board allotted up to $400 for a Veteran’s Day Program put on each year by Board Secretary Nancy Taylor. The Board has supported the program since its inception. It typically costs the school anywhere from $200-to $300, but they built-in the extra to cover costs. The costs include postage, post cards, program paper and table service. He says the community really enjoys the Veteran’s Program.
And, the Board temporarily approved their Board Goals. Henrichs said the temporary approval is because with the change of the election date, their re-organization meeting will not occur until December. Some of the goals were simply left the same, so the new Board can deal with them a bit down the road.
