Ottawa school board considers office options and sites
The Ottawa Board of Education held sessions to discuss teacher negotiations and office options. The district now leases the old City Hall at 123 W Fourth St from the city, with a lease expiring in August and a sale possible. A board member suggested not purchasing the building, while exploring whether to stay there. The city plans a sale after the lease ends, and in late May the board toured the Apple Market at Ninth and Main as a potential new site.
