At a work session on Monday evening, the GFW School Board heard the latest update on the condition of its facilities. It was a full house with the five directors (Chairman Mike Kuehn had a previous engagement), three administrators, eight cabinet members and four experts from the Twin Cities. There were also 14 people in the audience.
