Another court decision went against District 204 when a DuPage County judge denied a motion for a new trial of the district's condemnation lawsuit. The ruling follows a September verdict when a jury rulled that the 55-acre tract along 75th St. - where the new high scholl would be built - would cost taxpayers $31 million, more than double what the district wanted to pay. So, what are the options now? 1) Appeal the judge's motion; 2) Swallow the massive cost for Brach-Brodie; 3) Bail out of Brach-Brodie to the tune of $5 million in legal fees; 4) Build the third high school on one of three additional sites the district is looking at. Limited options to say the least, one of which potentially raises the irritatinbg possibility of redistricting. Anyway, although some Napervillians question whether District 204 even needs a third high school, that's what the voters opted for in the referendum. Is there a moral to this story....like be careful what you vote for? Or, are Napervillians confident their school board members will do the right thing, whatever it may be?
