GLENWOOD CITY — The Glenwood City Board of Education held their last meeting for the month of February on Monday evening, February 25.

Upon further discussion, the Board was presented with two companies who placed a bid for the bond service including Bosch, who offered a 10 percent lower rate which is around $5,000 less. This means the bond would be at $995,000 instead of $1 million dollars.
