According to excerpts from the story:
About 30 residents attended an open house Wednesday night for the Spring Lake school district’s new alternative education building.
“My first reaction is ‘wow,'” said Spring Lake Public Schools Superintendent Dennis Furton. “This is completely in line with the rest of our district goals. It will give these kids the same opportunities as the rest of our kids have.” The $500,000 building, located on the north side of Leonard Road just south of the high school, includes four new classrooms and a meeting room/teacher’s lounge. The district is currently leasing two of the classrooms to the Ottawa County community-based instruction program. Spring Lake’s alternative ed students formerly were housed in portable classrooms at the middle school.
