Hermosa Beach to Buy Surplus School Sites
The Hermosa Beach school district is selling two surplus school sites for at least $3.2 million, and the city plans to buy them for park use, city and school officials said last week. Offered for sale are the 4.5-acre South School on Valley Drive and five lots adjoining the Edith Rodaway Park on Prospect Avenue next to the closed Prospect School. Mineral rights are not included.
School officials said income from the sale will be used to continue remodeling and other improvements at the 700-student district’s only remaining campus, Hermosa Valley School.
Officials expect to complete the sales by the end of the year. Under provisions of the proposed sale agreement, ownership of the sites would revert to the school district if they are ever used for any purpose other than public open space.
