There were no public comments made prior to the Board’s action. Henrichs said also, the Griswold School Board approved three resignations, an early retirement.

And they approved four new hires.

Superintendent Dave Henrichs also, the Board discussed the 2025-26 School Calendar, which the Calendar Committee has tentatively agreed upon, but due to pending action in the Iowa Legislature, the proposal will not be brought before the Board for approval anytime soon.
