School Board approves printed instructional manuals alongside digital formats for students

The GCSD Board of Education convened on June 3, 2025, to discuss various topics, including instructional materials and absentee ballot disposal. The meeting began with a focus on the format of instructional resources provided to students. A board member raised a question regarding whether students would receive materials in a digital format or as printed copies.

In response, it was clarified that while the instructional manuals would be available online, the district also plans to print hard copies for students. This decision was noted as fiscally responsible compared to other resources reviewed, ensuring that students have materials they can physically mark up and read.

Following this discussion, the board moved on to the topic of absentee ballot disposal from May 21, 2024. Mr. Stetsz made a motion to table the discussion, which was seconded by Ms. Slick. The board confirmed that there were no challenges or issues raised regarding the ballots. The motion passed unanimously with a vote of 8 to 0.

In summary, the meeting addressed the provision of instructional materials in both digital and printed formats, emphasizing accessibility for students, and concluded with the successful tabling of the absentee ballot disposal discussion. The board's decisions reflect a commitment to responsible fiscal management and transparency in electoral processes.
