The District 200 school board will vote Wednesday evening on a resolution to auction off the old Hubble school property through a sealed bid process.
District 200 will stick to its plan to school property Wednesday.
The Wheaton Park District wrote District 200 on the vote Tuesday. Andy Johnson, president of the District 200 school board responded Wednesday morning:
"As this has been in the offing for three plus years, I see no need to delay a decision any longer.

We will have the minimum bid number tonight when we receive the appraisal, so
the WPD and all interested parties are on an even playing field.
Nothing the potential bidders have presented puts them at any advantage, nor the
WPD at any disadvantage in this process.
It is my understanding the developers who have expressed an interest in
acquiring the property have also reached out to the WPD. Perhaps you could team
up with one of them, or certainly you could bid solo.
As to contingencies, we will follow advise of counsel regarding the language of
the bid specifications."
The park district requested a delay to "allow the Wheaton Park District the time it needs to plan and prepare its response to the bid," Ray Morrill, park board president wrote Tuesday.
