There’s been a slight decline in the certified enrollment numbers at the Griswold Community School District. That was the word from Superintendent Dana Kunze, to the Griswold School Board, during their meeting Monday evening. Kunze told KJAN News he reported to the board they are down seven students this year, which he said is on their “trend line.” He said it’s not unexpected, but “Not what we were hoping for, either.”

In other business, the Griswold Board of Education opted to utilize the district’s existing staff to manage the k-through 12 sports program, instead of hiring a Sports Coordinator. He said the discussion focused on the need to coordinate an elementary through high school program, to make sure they weren’t losing students or student athletes as they make the transition through the grades. He says they decided their current staff is adequate, and capable of handling the necessary duties.
