Spotlight: Schools to Rebuild Following Flood

The flooding of the Souris River last year in Minot, North Dakota destroyed both Lincoln Elementary School and Eric Ramstad Middle School. An article on the Huffington Post stated that both schools received funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to the tune of $30 million last year. In addition, Longfellow Elementary received $2.9 million to help repair its building. The article also reported that FEMA has provided the school district with an additional $8.5 million for other flood-related measures.
