On The Agenda: Hearing on Roosevelt Elementary School Sale

The Ames School Board plans to hold a public hearing on the sale of the former Roosevelt Elementary to a local developer Dean Jensen during the regular Ames Community School District Board meeting Monday.

Jensen, of Real Estate Service Group, offered the highest of two bids for the shuttered elementary building in February and the school board plans to decide whether to accept the sale after the hearing.

Jensen has said that he planned to turn the former elementary school listed on the National Register of Historic Places into condominiums. 

Area residents have been adamant about saving the school building and playground where families gather during nice weather. The Roosevelt neighborhood also hosts a concert series on the grounds on Sundays through the summer.
