FILE - The eBay app icon is seen on a smartphone, Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2023, in Marple Township, Pa. Online retailer eBay Inc., will pay a $3 million fine to resolve criminal charges over a harassment campaign waged by employees who sent live spiders, cockroaches and other disturbing items to the home of a Massachusetts couple, according to court papers filed Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024.
Educators said they had to make an offer on that property as fast as possible. Officials with the district said they need a new Career and Technology Center since the old one needs major repairs. The eBay campus would only cost roughly $50 million, and it already has things that a new high school would need, like a kitchen and a 400-seat auditorium.
Robins said, “We envision partnerships with higher education learning labs, where students will work with elite instructors and professional mentors to solve real world problems.”Holly Neibaur said she supports the idea of having a new technology center, but she believes the district is using the wrong kind of bond to raise the potential funds.She said, “If we do a general obligation bond, it allows for much more community input. So, we can have town halls, then it actually goes on a vote.
