In other action, the Griswold School Board approved the Senior FFA Trip to Branson once the school year ends, contract renewals for the various sharing agreements currently in-place, and the purchase of a stage curtain, the price tag for which came in just shy of $10,000, which was way under the cost estimate. The colors will remain the same, with the main curtain Royal Blue, along with a black backdrop.
