GARY â The Gary Community School Corp. closed two more offers on vacant buildings over winter break, adding to the 14 sales negotiated by the district within the last year.
Horace Mann High School and Ralph Waldo Emerson School were sold to the Gary Housing Authority for $5,000 each, according to an updated GCSC list of building sales.
In its sales, the district included the transfer of neighboring Vohr Elementary with Horace Mann, and Spaulding Elementary with nearby Emerson.
The finalized sales bring the districtâs total properties sold over the last year to 16 â moving the financially distressed corporation closer to its goal of shedding ownership of dozens of abandoned properties that city leaders have labeled as a blight to their community.

Lessons from Scholastic
With the horror of what happened at the U.S. Capitol this past week still sinking in, there is an important question: How to explain it to America s children? Kids want to understand it, said Dick Robinson, president and CEO of Scholastic. The Capitol is a symbol. It s very important to them.
And so, Robinson said, his editors immediately started posting stories for students on the websites of Scholastic magazines. In fourth grade we ll explain it one way; in eighth grade we ll explain it another way, he said.
In fact, Scholastic – the largest publisher of children s magazines and books in the world – is just marking its 100th anniversary of helping children make sense of things:
