Acting on Superintendent Jeremy Olson’s recommendation, the Crookston School Board this week rejected all of the bids submitted to purchase the two buildings that comprise the old school district bus garage near the old Central High School property downtown, after Olson said the City of Crookston notified him that it was going to condemn one of the buildings, meaning it would have to be demolished if its ownership changed hands.
Board member Mike Theis, saying he was “highly disappointed” with what had transpired, cast the lone vote against the resolution.
