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. Ben Petty, previously the principal of BCLUW High School, became the shared superintendent of GMG and BCLUW in 2011. 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.
