Typo
Board member Debbie Wolfmeyer said she thought property owners near the current school would be willing to sell their houses.
“I live in the East Bluff, the heart of the East Bluff,” Wolfmeyer said. “I have had lots of people come up to me and say, ‘The value of my house is $80,000, but I’d get out for $60,000.’”
I think the Journal Star meant to say “I’d get out for $160,000”
Oops.

Cahill said if the school board votes to put a new school where the current Glen Oak school is, the district will still have future interest in Glen Oak Park.
Interesting. So even if Dist 150 reluctantly takes the school site, which CJ doubts they will, they’d still take the park…

Nope, the JS quoted her correctly. She was saying that she didn’t believe people in her east bluff neighborhood would inflate the prices of their homes like Bradley’s neighbors did. Apparently the people she knows are just dying to get out of the East Bluff. Nice endorsement of that part of town, huh? Thanks, Debbie.
