LEWISTON, Minn. — The Lewiston-Altura School Board voted to sell 20 acres of forest land to raise $150,000 to help meet a budget shortfall. The land had been gifted to the schools as for field trips but was little used. The purchaser: Thomas Mueller. The property is just off County Road 120 at Farmers Park. The property wasn’t as accessible as for field trips as Farmers Park itself or Whitewater State, said Superintendent Gwen Carman. To balance the budget, the Board also has discussed cutting expenses $300,000 and increasing fees for:
> Select high school courses.
> Activity participation.
> Admission to interscholastic games.
> Remote viewing.
