Pasadena Unified to Hold Public Hearings on Future Use of Burbank Elementary School Property

The Pasadena Unified School District’s Surplus Property Advisory Committee will hold public hearings this week and next to gather the community’s input about plans for the future of what used to be Burbank Elementary School in Altadena, which closed in 2012 as a result of declining student enrollment.

The site is currently used to house the district’s Early Education and Mental Health Services programs, and a private school.

The committee will hold a public hearing on Friday, April 21, at 9 a.m. in the school’s Multipurpose Hall, located at 2046 N. Allen Avenue in Altadena, and another one on Wednesday, April 26, 7 p.m., at the PUSD Education Center at 351 S. Hudson Avenue in Pasadena.

The notice also said the PUSD committee has prepared a priority list of possible uses for the surplus real property, as required under the provisions of the Education Code Section 17390(b).

The list says the property could be leased, sold, or exchanged in accordance with California law, or PUSD could decide to maintain the status quo and take no action while maintaining the current use of the Burbank property.

Anyone desiring to obtain additional information about the property is advised to contact Jessica Frazier, PUSD’s Construction Specialist, at (626) 396-5850 ext. 89184, or send an email to frazier.jessica@pusd.us.
