District Seeks to Evict School for Not Paying Rent
Lawndale school officials are planning to go to Superior Court today to evict a private school from one of the district’s old elementary school buildings.
School Supt. Joseph Condon said the Masada School for juvenile wards of the county court system owes the school district $77,000, including $72,000 for all of this year’s rent and $5,000 from last year.
The school district sent a notice to the Masada School in January that their one-year lease, which expired June 30, would not be renewed.
“They haven’t explained why they have not paid the rent,” Condon said.
In court documents, the Masada School, which contracts with the county, denied owing back rent.
