Selling Nettleton Elementary

The Trib has caught on to and reported the several offers for the empty Nettleton school which the school board has received. Although the Administration has suggested we are hemmed in and must accept the offer mentioned in today’s story on ethical grounds the Board has yet to vote on the offer. Meanwhile another offer, slightly more generous, was made by Many Rivers Montessori, was made shortly afterwards, and runs afoul of our controversial policy not to sell an old school to a “competitor.”

The Board will be asked to make a decision soon and I suspect there will be discussions about “good faith” offers the policy and the ISD 709 budget.
