State officials say the Federal Emergency Management Agency will provide nearly $5 million to rebuild the school in the town of Northwood after a tornado last August.

The announcement came from the state’s congressional delegation and Gov. John Hoeven.

Officials say the total cost of rebuilding the school is more than $14 million. Hoeven said the State Fire and Tornado Fund, which provides property insurance for buildings owned by state political subdivisions, has reimbursed $7.6 million.

The tornado struck last August 26, killing one man, injuring 18 people and destroying much of the Grand Forks County town of about 950.

    Why are our tax dollars being funneled to rebuild this local school because it was under-insured?
