A handful of area school district Boards of Education are set to hold their separate, regularly scheduled meetings this evening. The Griswold School Board meeting begins at 5:30-p.m. and includes a decision on a recommendation from the District’s Facilities Committee with regard to options for their buildings. Superintendent Dave Henrichs reports the Committee feels they are at a “Crossroad” following their recent meetings, and it’s his opinion the entire Committee believes “Option A,” consolidating all operations into one central campus to be located in Griswold, is the best option. Henrichs said recently “There is some concern however,” that consolidation of operations (combined with 2016-17 and future cuts), “Will create enough general fund savings to allow the district to remain viable.” His concern lies with the possibility the district may pass a multi-million dollar bond, yet still have to consolidate with another district, or dissolve, which would leave the taxpayers with a debt, and no school of their own.

The CAM School Board will meet this evening at 6:30. They’ll consider approval of a building addition plan from Snyder and Associates for the Preschool Building in Massena, and act on adopting a Board Policy with regard to “Parent and Family Engagement.”

The Audubon School Board meets at 7-p.m., and will act on a 3-year Building and Grounds Plan, as well as receive an update on a 21st Century Community Grant.

And, the Exira-EHK School Board meeting gets underway at 7-p.m. Among their discussion items, is the refinancing of a Sales Tax Bond.
