The future school sites for students displaced by the Eaton fire is expected to be considered at the Pasadena Unified School District Board of Education meeting Thursday, March 27.
Parents from Altadena Arts Magnet have offered a resolution that calls for students to only return to their campus after the area within 250 yards of the campus has completed Phase 2. Students are currently attending the Allendale campus due to remediation needed at Altadena Arts Magnet and the school being surrounded by burned down structures.
The board will hear an update on the campus status of Altadena Arts Magnet, Eliot Arts Magnet and an update on the district’s bond program.
According to the district, remediation has been completed at Altadena Arts Magnet and the site is ready for the 2025/26 school year.
Taking place in the backdrop is expected to be a rally and march outside the district office by members of the United Teachers of Pasadena, parents and community members. They will be calling on the district to rescind the 120 layoff notices that have been sent.
Last month, the board approved cutting 150 full-time positions due to financial struggles. Protesters rallied outside the district office prior to the board approving the cuts and called on the district to look for other ways to cut back spending.
District officials said unless the financial situation changes, more cuts will be needed. They said the current situation is due to declining enrollment, expiration of COVID-19 relief funds and rising costs.
The meeting begins at 4 p.m. and streamed on YouTube.
