  • Erasing Early Retirement

    The Glenwood Community School District is doing away with its early retirement leave incentive for licensed and classified staff.

The board voted to retain the rates offered in the current incentive policy for the next three years. The incentive will be eliminated following the 2014-2015 school year.

  • Ram bats quiet in 5-3 loss to Sioux City East

    Sioux City East edged Glenwood 5-3 in a non-conference softball match last Wednesday.

    Both teams got off to good early starts at the plate with Glenwood leading 2-1 after an inning. But it was the Black Raiders’ offense that took control from there, scoring two more runs in the second and again in the fourth.

    “I was disappointed in our effort,” said Glenwood coach Tim Stanton. “We play the way we’re capable of playing. I give East credit, they played hard. And we looked like we were waiting for it to happen and it never did.”
