Holly Black’s career in education has been spent entirely at Groesbeck ISD, and she is excited to take on the new challenge of administrative work, with the School Board’s recent approval of her shift into the GHS Assistant Principal position. According to Black, the promotion came at just the right time.
The City of Groesbeck is implementing Stage 1 of the drought contingency plan, effective Wednesday, July 24.
Like many other cities, the ongoing higher-than-normal temperatures and the lack of rainfall have made it necessary to implement the plan. Additionally, consumer use has increased. On average, the city water plant has to produce approximately 500,000 gallons per day to meet demand, but the current demand is approximately 650,000 gallons per day.
The Groesbeck ISD Board of Trustees used their meeting Monday, July 17 to consider an opportunity to save money on their overall energy costs and approved an interlocal agreement that puts money in the district’s pocket.
Last year the Groesbeck ISD school board watched the devastation of schools across the country being forced to prepare for the unthinkable – the potential of a school shooting and considered appropriate policies. The Board updated local policy, authorizing a School Safety “Guardian” Program (TX Govt. Code 411.1901). Its purpose is to provide students and faculties an armed selfdefense option prior to the arrival of Law Enforcement in the event of an active shooter or “active killer” on campus.
Whether you have kids in Groesbeck ISD or not, will you join us in praying for our schools? Teachers, administrators, bus drivers, custodians, school board members, and many others are gearing up for another year and need our help. While some people can give time or money, everyone who calls themselves a Christian can pray. Use this prayer guide as a way to walk through the last three weeks of summer by beginning on July 25th. Your prayer can be long and eloquent or it can be as simple as “God, please bless ______.” No matter how you pray, just pray.
