(Griswold) May 23rd is the final day of classes for students at Griswold.
The District had five snow days, but only two of those have to be made up. “What that does is extends the school year two more days for students. They were originally scheduled to be out May 23rd which is a Friday. Now they’ll be out May 25th which is a Tuesday. Then staff will have to add on three days after that.”
Griswold Superintendent Dave Henrichs says teachers will have the option of doing some training online on their own time in order to be done on the 27th instead of the 28th.
The Griswold School Board this week approved a Mechanical Breakdown Insurance Renewal. This covers anything electrical with a motor such as vacuums and computers. Under this coverage, re-imbursements for parts and labor go into the school’s general fund. “The alternative would be to not have this program and then any repairs would come directly out of the general fund. So it’s a way to protect your general fund. Last year our annual premium was $36,000 and so our currently loss ration is 35% so we are claiming about $12,000 a year or so that we are saving our general fund by doing that.”
The board also approved a new, four-year HVAC Automated System Service Contract.
