Sturgeon Bay School District Dan Tjernagel hopes the site of the soon to be closed Sunset School will serve the community for years to come. On Tuesday, the Sturgeon Bay Common Council voted to move forward with a proposal by SC Swiderski to build a number of apartment and townhome to rent on the site. Tjernagel says he does not have to deal with a situation like what has happened with the former West Side School.
Whether the district makes money on the sale of the property does not matter to Tjernagel.
He added that once the city gets some finer points sorted it out that it will come to the school board for an upcoming meeting. The school district chose to close Sunset School at the end of the academic year as a part of a larger referendum plan approved by Sturgeon Bay voters in April.
