District optimistic about out-of-court school settlement
Iowa City Community School District officials expect a dispute over Central Junior High School ownership with the City of Iowa City to be settled without litigation. Crerin and attorney John Cruise said title issues likely won’t trigger a lawsuit as the district mothballs the 79 year old building to sell the parcel. A court ordered appraisal may value the property around 2 million dollars with a three member county panel supervising. The district considers selling all or part of the site and notes Mercy Hospital or nearby doctors could be potential buyers.
