Grand Forks School Superintendent Terry Brenner says the downtown “SAIL Center” has been temporarily shut down since Aug. 30th because of bed bugs.
School officials say the center at 315 1st Avenue North has been fumigated and must remain unoccupied for 28 days.
“SAIL” stands for Social and Academic Intervention Learning. The Center serves 25 students.
Brenner says the interim plan for students is to switch to remote learning until the center is safe to re-enter — or if the center moves to a new location.
