The Board of Education for the Griswold and Exira-EHK School Districts will hold their separate, regular meetings, Monday evening. The Griswold School Board will meet at 5:30-p.m. in the High School Conference Room. On their agenda (including a closed session to consider a personnel matter), is information from Superintendent Dave Henrichs, with regard to the District’s Certified Enrollment numbers, which were submitted to the State on Friday.

Previously, Henrichs has stated 79-students were opening enrolling out, the same as one year ago, and 22 students are open enrolling in, an increase of three students from the previous year. A lack of a daycare facility was one reason given for an increase in the number of students whose chose to open enroll out. Plans are in the works, however, for a daycare facility to open next year on land near the school bus barn. That includes efforts to raise funds for the project, which is estimated to cost around $2-million.

The Board will also consider the activation states of an early retirement policy, a contract adjustment, and approval of a Washington, D-C trip.  Members of the Exira-EHK School Board will meet 6-p.m. Monday, in the Conference Room at the Elk Horn Building. On their agenda is discussion with regard to the Certified Enrollment numbers, and approval/action on:

• A bid from Atlantic Glass
• A Portland Cement Concrete (PCS) bid for concrete work
• Approval of snow removal bids
• Action of a HS Washington, D-C trip
