Issue: Sorensen school backers turn out: Board hears pleas to keep it open/Meghann Cuniff, Spokesman-Review

Susie Snedaker: Do you have any comments regarding the demise of Sorenson? I think that developers have been salivating over that large block site for some time. What better place to put affordable housing - the trade-off for increasing the density downtown? I have a hunch that the demise of Person Field might be the offing. Again, it is another large plot of land - perfect for affordable housing. The fact that real estate issues are discussed and determined behind closed doors bothers me. The way the 2005 Person Field /proposed Lakes Middle School replacement issue was handled should raise red flags throughout the community.

Question: Do you think there's a hidden agenda behind the move to close Sorensen?
