The Greenway school board met for a regular meeting Wednesday, March 31. The board looked to the future as they considered proposals for future class trips and long-term facility maintenance plans.
Spanish Teacher at Greenway Renee Gibbons gave a presentation on the trip the Spanish class took to Costa Rica in early 2020. Two students went on the trip. Gibbons also requested approval for the next Spanish class trips to Costa Rica for March or April of 2022 and 2023. A number of concerns were raised by both board members and Superintendent Dave Pace.Â
âIâm concerned about approving any travel for next year. The following year, I donât have a problem with that,â Pace stated. âUnfortunately, as Iâll report, we donât even know where next year is going to bring us. We donât know how we are going to open yet.â
The ISD 316 school board heard updates from Greenway principals and district superintendent on the current state of the schools at the regular board meeting Wednesday, Jan. 27.Â
Superintendent David Pace told board members students grades K-6 and 10-12 are currently learning in-person. This follows the current learning model Greenway schools are following under guidance from the Minnesota Department of Health and Education. Pace explained how they chose to have specifically grades 10-12 back in the building.Â
âWe made the decision to bring 10-12 back because mainly we are dealing with situations and grades which are going to be permanently on their transcripts.â
