Shlishi:
You are actually the first to tell me that the sale was “fair”. Since I really don’t know anything about it, I thought you could tell me more. nishtdayngesheft actually provided some useful information (points 4 & 5), which I assume he knows first hand (lives in the area, knows those who are involved, etc.). I trust him more than some “unknown sources”.
P.S. From what I had heard, the purpose of the board was to allocate more resources to Yeshivos instead of public school children (correct me if I am wrong). As such, they would just be fulfilling their mandate by selling the property in question at a low cost to the Yeshiva. All I am responding was that the low price of the sale causes higher taxes. If the low price of the sale was due to other reasons (as NDG claims), then the low sale price still caused higher taxes, but was unintentional.
P.P.S. There is no requirement to have segregated bussing. If the district wanted to save money via SJS’s idea, they could cut the bussing in half (possibly). Also the article mentions something regarding bussing to out of town districts, which is not required.
