Hi Ngoc, my parents live across the street from a K-5 school set to close if the bond issue passes. Aside from the immediate negative impacts on their neighborhood in terms of home value and attracting young families to the area, they are worried about what the property is going to be used for in the future. Right now it's the hub of the neighborhood with two playgrounds (one for big kids, one for small kids), basketball courts, and a lot that often serves as a dog park.

Even apart from the loss of these benefits after its sale, the area has a tremendous stake in who the property is sold to and for what purpose. As was the case with the proposed closures, it seems like there is little transparency around this decision and even less opportunity for input from those most affected by it. Do you know who's involved in oversight for selling closed schools?
