GMG Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in Green Mountain, Iowa.[2]

The district is in Tama and Marshall counties, and it also serves Garwin and the surrounding rural areas.[3]

History

The district was established in 1987, by the merger of the Garwin and Green Mountain school districts.[4]

Schools

The district operates two schools:[1]

  • GMG Elementary School, Green Mountain
  • GMG Secondary School, Garwin

Operations

The district entered into an agreement with multiple school districts to share employees; districts may share employees as a way of saving money. For example the GMG and BCLUW school districts share a superintendent, with the occupant working for BCLUW 60% of the time and GMG 40% of the time.[5] Ben Petty, previously the principal of BCLUW High School, became the shared superintendent of GMG and BCLUW in 2011.[6] By 2014, the GMG, BCLUW, and Hubbard–Radcliffe districts shared a single elementary guidance counselor, the GMG, BCLUW, North Tama, and Gladbrook–Reinbeck districts shared a single director of curriculum and innovation, and GMG and BCLUW had a single transportation director.[7]

The district was previously headquartered in Garwin.[8]
