NISSWA CHARTER SCHOOL?

About a hundred people met at Grand View Lodge last night to talk about ways to keep Nisswa Elementary school open. The Brainerd School Board has to cut nearly $6-Million dollars from its budget by next June and school officials say closing Nisswa Elementary would save $150,000 a year in transportation costs. Nisswa resident Mark Moran owns Reichert Bus Service and told the Brainerd Dispatch he doesn't believe the school district would save that much money. Grand View Lodge CEO Mark Ronnei said if the district does close the school, that's not necessarily the end. He said Nisswa needs a school and if it means joining the Pequot Lakes District or starting a charter school, so be it.
