L.A. Unified Can Keep Sullivan Canyon Land
The Los Angeles Unified School District has won the latest round in a battle over an eight-acre canyon property it owns in Brentwood.
A Superior Court judge in Los Angeles ruled this week that the district does not have to sell the property to a parks consortium that last year bid $2 million for it. The decision allows the financially troubled district to offer the Sullivan Canyon land to other possible buyers for what its officials say could be as much as $17 million.
The money from the sale could go toward constructing badly needed schools elsewhere, said Patrick Perry, an attorney for the district.
