CLOQUET — Northern Lights Academy, a public education cooperative that provides special education services for students across the Arrowhead Region, is renewing efforts to secure state funding for a building of its own. But Northern Lights Academy can serve roughly only 50 students, primarily due to limited space. The district is seeking $6.5 million in state bonding, which would be matched 50% locally, for a building to serve as the home of the Northern Lights Academy. Founded eight years ago, Northern Lights Academy is operated through a joint power agreement among school districts in Carlton, St. Louis, Lake, Aitkin and Pine counties. ADVERTISEMENTNorthern Lights Academy is considering either constructing a new building or purchasing an already existing structure.
