Convert Abandoned Police Station Into Green Space for New School

Posted: May 20th, 2005

On July 1, 2005, the Los Angeles Unified School District will open North Hollywood Elementary School #3. This new elementary school is part of a massive campaign by LAUSD to modernize, and build new schools to ease over crowding. Unfortunately, next to the new school is an abandoned and dangerous police station. LAUSD is working with the City to purchase the former police station and convert it into much needed green space next to the school. LAUSD estimates that it would cost $250,000 to tear down the old station and plant grass. However, time is running out! Surely the City of Los Angeles can make this happen for our children.

Please contact the Mayor and your City Council representative to urge them to quickly work out a deal with LAUSD.

A sample letter is attached.
