Reward Offered After Minot Middle School Gets Vandalized

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — The Minot School District is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of people who vandalized a middle school under construction.

Superintendent Mark Vollmer says it will cost more than $100,000 to clean and repair Eric Ramstad Middle School following two vandalism incidents last week involving first paint and then fire.

The school will replace one destroyed by historic Souris River flooding in 2011. Vollmer says security at the construction site has been increased.

The new school is still scheduled to open after the Thanksgiving break. Classes for Ramstad students have been held in the Minot Municipal Auditorium the past two years.
