The John Glenn School Corporation and the South Bend School Corporation are working together to come to an agreement on an annexation process for Greene Township School, according to Superintendent Christopher Winchell.
“It’s been a long-time conversation and we’re excited that both school corporations are working in conjunction to see how to make that best work,” stated Winchell.
The Greene Township Trustee 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 had released Greene Township from the corporation at that time.
In 2020, a Senate Bill died in the House Committee on Education that dealt with school corporation disannexation. It would have established a two-year pilot program whereby Greene Township, in St. Joseph County, may initiate a process to disannex from the South Bend School Corporation and annex to the John Glenn School Corporation.
Winchell noted that the two corporations are working together to find a solution without legislative action.
