Osseo Elementary
The City of Osseo had issued a letter of Intent to ISD 279 to purchase the empty since Fall of 08 Osseo Elementary School amidst considerable Citizen feedback against the School Districts current plans to re-purpose the facility.
The City Council voted 5-0 to issue the letter. Why - many people feel that a better use for the property has already been expressed to the Board, one that would add to the future of Osseo vs the addition of another High School in a .9 sq mile town.
This opinion is especially passionate amongst the residents of the surrounding blocks whose real estate values could be further impacted by this move.
My thoughts - while now is not the time to add additional city obligations without an incredibly good reason - I feel that this is an incredibly good reason. One action that will bring new families to Osseo that could increase our home ownership v rental ratios, increase business, increase property values, and give Osseo what we need - a destination identity!
The Chair of the School Board and Superintendent Maguire have already sent me a response to an email stating that they do not wish to consider our offer - but have sent it to the Property Committee for Review - that CLOSED meeting is 7/22/2010 at 5p. Email me if you wish to receive copies of the correspondence from the District
Please send your appeal to the School board directly: schoolboardmembers@district279.org
How about your thought?!
