(Griswold, Iowa) – The Griswold School Board held it’s regular monthly meeting Monday evening (July 21st). Superintendent Dave Henrichs told KJAN News the Board approved resignations, transfers and new hires.

Henrichs said there are still a couple of para-professional positions to fill.

The Board also approved priority maintenance projects for the District’s outside facilities, as a follow-up to their walk-through in May, and prioritization of those projects.

In other business, the Griswold School Board re-appointed Dan Rold as Business Manager/Treasurer, a position he’s held for 12 years, and Hannah Bierbaum as Board Secretary, a position she’s held for 6-years. They set September 4th at 5:30-p.m., as the date and time for a Board Work Session to continue work on their Strategic Plan. The Board has been working on that for a couple of years.

They also discussed the results of staff exit interviews conducted by Hannah Bierbaum or Dan Rold. The administration will dive into further discussion at a later date on how to address matters brought-up by departing District employees that might make for a more positive working environment.
