Not Bob Harding's PATA
You're right - Bob H. would never have tolerated Jeff Monebrake's shenanigans. He would have been all over the location of the land, the savings (if any) to the school district, the cost to the school district, and what is an exaggeration as well as what is blatantly untrue.
He also would have highlighted Monebrake's unholy alliances, including who would have made money over this, or who would be exacting some sort of revenge and using this as a vehicle.
This is no longer Bob Harding's PATA, and the powers-that-used-to-be will use that to their advantage.
