Gordon, Johanns elected to GC board

    GRUNDY CENTER — Grundy Center citizens Tuesday voted to support community-school partnerships, electing John Gordon, president of the Grundy Family YMCA, and Bob Johanns, the incumbent Board president, to terms on the Grundy Center Community School District Board of Directors.
    Johanns, who was elected to his third term, received the support of nearly 70 percent of voters while Gordon, who will replace Kelly Mathews on the Board, received 64 percent.
    “I was overwhelmed to say the least,” Gordon said of the results. “The masses have spoken, now its time to do the job. It’s my job to listen to the community, be professional and do that best for the district that I can.”
    “I’m very humbled that the voters would re-elect me to that position,” Johanns said. “What I’m going to do is continue to do what’s best for the students, teachers, school and the community.”
