The decision follows the closure of Truman and cuts to 70+ staff, stemming from years of financial strain that led to the ousting of former superintendent Yaw Obeng and a state audit. Current superintendent Dennis Carpenter, who previously held the role, champions this sale as part of a broader strategy to stabilize the district’s finances and rebuild community trust.
