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 current board now consists of Chair Bob Schwartz, Bill Hoeft, LaNea Randall-Johnson, Carissa McIlwain-Nelson, Ryan Johns and Mary Kay Jacobson. New board members got right down to business as the board went through a revision of the ISD 316 budget.Â
Revised Budget
District Business Manager Randi Jurgansen presented board members with a revised budget for fiscal year 2021. The projected ending balance of the budget is $2,505,100. Jurgansen explained how the district operates out of nine funds that can be classified as either nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned. Much of the districtâs funding is based on the amount of students it serves. In September 2020, the district started the school year with 1,021 students. As of Feb. 16, the total number of students was at 997.Â
