OpEd: If you’re a Granby taxpayer… and a pragmatist

By |

Kearns School has been the focus of various Granby Study Committees assigned by the BOS since receipt of the transference from the Education Department in 2016. A variety of recommendations were made by those respective group members but no subsequent action has occurred. 

An unsolicited purchase offer was made on the Evonsion Farm but withdrawn after a public hearing, yet no further marketing efforts were/are currently forthcoming to my knowledge.

A way to honor teachers, administrators, volunteers and students

|

The end of the school year is one of the best times to honor retiring teachers, exemplary students, favorite educators, graduating seniors and appreciated community members who have made a difference in education in the town of Granby. A tax-deductible contribution to the Granby Education Foundation (GEF) is the perfect way to recognize that person. The GEF is excited to provide the community an opportunity to acknowledge these special individuals through tax-deductible donations to the GEF via the annual Tribute Program.
