February 21 2024- The Marinette Public School District in Wisconsin has reportedly rejected an offer from St. Thomas Aquinas Academy, a private Catholic school, to purchase the former Garfield Elementary building at the district’s asking price of $299,900. The public school district has justified its decision by stating it wants to protect taxpayers and avoid potential competition. The Garfield Elementary building has been vacant for almost two years since its closure at the end of the 2021-22 school year as part of the district’s efforts to right-size. St. Thomas Aquinas Academy expressed disappointment over the rejection, emphasizing the ideal location of the building for its elementary campus and its potential to serve existing students better.
