History
[edit]In August 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indiana, the district chose to enact a mask mandate.[4]
In 2018 a movement started where residents of Greene Township advocated for leaving the South Bend Community School Corporation and joining the John Glenn School Corporation.[5] By 2022 the John Glenn District was working to come to an agreement with the South Bend district so a voluntary district change would occur.[6]
