(Griswold, Iowa) – Members of the Griswold School Board, Monday evening, approved several changes with regard to personnel. Superintendent Dave Henrichs told KJAN News approved resignations include:

The Board also approved new hires and a transfer.

The Board also approved a Middle School Volleyball Coach contract for Carla Wilson. The Griswold School Board passed the first reading of a policy pertaining to cell phone use in the classroom, based on state law.

The District’s policy says cell phones are not to be used during instructional time.

Cell phones are to be kept in the students’ lockers during class time, with certain exceptions, such as medical necessity.

Students who violate the policy would receive a warning for the first offense.

In other business, the Griswold School Board, Monday, awarded a bid for the Concession Stand Project. Dave Henrichs said there were two bids.

And, they established Activities Fees for the 2025-26 School Year, which are essentially unchanged, with the exception of a two-dollar increase in adult fees, from five-dollars to seven-dollars. That change is based on admission changes by the Corner Conference.

The District will continue to allow Griswold students to attend home games, free of charge. The Board also approved a renewal of an agreement with the City of Griswold for the mutual use of equipment, as needed.
