The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly on March 26 directed the borough manager to pursue a lease at $1.30 per square foot, plus an annual consumer-price-index adjustment, for the North Star school building while negotiating terms with prospective tenants.

The manager presented a proposal from a nonprofit seeking roughly 10,746 square feet — about 62% of the building — for a daycare and social-service offices.
