Kent City School District is exchanging an eight-acre property and the building that once housed Franklin School for a 1.75-acre lot adjacent to Stanton Middle School, currently owned by The Davey Tree Expert Company.

Davey Tree will supplement the exchange with $456,000 and extended parking at 12 evening events at Roosevelt Stadium.
