School District to create new contract with Y

    GRUNDY CENTER — The Grundy Center Community School District’s relationship with the YMCA appears set to move forward.
    Last Wednesday, the School Board approved a motion for the District to work with the local YMCA Board to replace a contract that will be expiring June 30.
    More than 30 members of the public attended the meeting to express their support for the Y, which is in its fourth year at the Grundy Center secondary school. Four individuals spoke to the Board, all in favor of either keeping the YMCA as is or even expanding its hours.
    “We do need the Y and we do want it working with the school,” Grundy Center Mayor Brian Buhrow said.
    Ruth Wilcox said the YMCA is one of the things that attracted her family to come to Grundy Center, and her experience there has attracted her to school events.
