I wrote him back:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;We gave him [the developer]a 30 day extension on that site to get things organized. If he can&#8217;t do it and the administration knows this they haven&#8217;t told Art and me. It will be a second blow after Central and I&#8217;m sure they would want to downplay it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The administration told the Trib this information at 10 this morning. Its been <a href=\"http:\/\/www.duluthnewstribune.com\/news\/3780944-rockridge-school-sale-withdrawn\">on the Trib&#8217;s website<\/a> since then. I was just sent the email about 6pm eight hours later. Back in the day that sort of delay would have soured my old school board mates.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more annoying is that this information was given to the City Council last Thursday or Friday and Councilor Julsrud sent the Rockridge neighbors a letter telling them this news five days ago. They put it <a href=\"http:\/\/forockridge.weebly.com\/updates.html\">on their website<\/a> the same day. Once again this school board member is the last to know.<\/p>\n<p>Its not all bad news. Apparently the sale of the Morgan Park property, which this developer added on as something of an afterthought, is still on target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, five days ago, I was told that the Rockridge School sale had fallen through in an email from a citizen.
