The John Glenn School Board members are watching action in the General Assembly this session on Senate Bill 425 which deals with school corporation disannexation. If passed, it would establish a two year pilot program whereby Greene Township, in St. Joseph County, may initiate a process to disannex from an existing school corporation and annex to another existing school corporation.
Greene Township Trustee Sandra Ort previously approached the John Glenn School Board in a public meeting in 2018 who was in support of students at the Greene Township school attending school at the John Glenn School Corporation if the South Bend School Corporation releases Greene Township from the corporation.
No decisions were made at the time and Superintendent Christopher Winchell said while the bill was discussed last week by the school board members, the corporation remains neutral on the topic.
The bill was referred to the House of Representatives last week.
