The John Glenn School Board members were updated on the potential annexation of the Greene Township School.
The Greene Township Trustee 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.
Currently, the attorneys for the John Glenn School Corporation and the South Bend School Corporation are working toward the goal of annexation to John Glenn schools. John Glenn School Superintendent Christopher Winchell told the John Glenn School Board members last week that he and the corporation attorney have drafted a response to the last communication on the issue and the South Bend School Corporation will review that yet this month.
