FRANKLIN SCHOOL SALE FINAL

Brainerd School Board Chair Bob Nystrom said the sale of the former Franklin Junior High School has been finalized. Nystrom said the money's in the bank and Artspace officially owns Franklin. Nystrom told the Brainerd Dispatch that the money goes into the school's capital fund and can't be used for general fund expenditures without state legislative approval. The District got approval to move $750,000 from the capital to the general fund last year.
