The document summarizes changes to Green Local School District's grade configurations and transportation policies if a levy failure occurs. It outlines that 3rd grade will move to Green Primary School with 1st-3rd grades, and 4th grade will move to Green Intermediate School with 4th-6th grades. Bus transportation would be limited to cluster stops within 1/2 mile for K-8 and up to 2 miles for 9-12. The district would lose over 100 positions, including teachers, and would cut art, music, world languages, electives and increase class sizes significantly if the levy fails.
