A larger than normal audience gathered for the regular meeting of the Gregory School District Board of Education’s regular meeting at noon on Monday, May 11. During public input a couple people expressed their support for the school administration and appreciation for members of the school board for being involved when so few are willing to do so, especially when faced with criticism for the work they do. Other sentiments expressed the dedication of the staff, the quality learning experience, and highly regarded reputation of the school. These comments were likely in response to a rumor that had been circulating about a petition to fire the superintendent and principal.
