School Board sells construction trades house
The Oskaloosa School board has just sold its house from last year ending speculation on what would happen to the house. At Tuesday’s school board meeting, the board accepted and awarded a bid to an Oskaloosa couple pursuant to proper closing procedures. The new house is located at the Webster subdivision where more houses are being built. At the August school board meeting, the board did not receive any bids on the house raising specualation as to what would happen to the house.
