Local: Ummm … was this offer ever really OFF the table?
Clare Jellick is reporting that the city is still willing to spend $500,000 to help them build a new school in the East Bluff to help replace Glen Oak School. First, it’s my understanding the offer was never off the table, just that District 150 wasn’t budging. Second: I reported two weeks ago that District 15o was talking things over with Councilman Bob Manning. The amount mentioned at the time was $344,o00 plus another $100,000 for renovations along the Wisconsin Avenue business corridor. Since, then another $100,000 has appeared.
A longer story is coming tomorrow.







Bill: when you write this longer story tomorrrow, get the facts right please. Thank you. Could you include the School board intention of use of the property on Prospect Rd. that they purchased.
