The school board is a government that is in charge of school spending and hiring. All of the members are elected representatives voted in by local townships. They work to maintain a good and safe environment for our 1400 students.The board meets once a month to come up with solutions for current school district issues. At the moment they are working to drive academics to add a larger variety of courses offered. The Fetch posts the school board agenda each month. The next Monroe-Gregg school board meeting will be Thursday, October 9. Look for future Fetch articles covering different aspects of the school board.
