Palisades Charter High School leaders are negotiating a temporary relocation to the old Sears building in Santa Monica after fire damage disrupted the campus. At a recent board meeting, the school's executive director, Pamela Magee, confirmed ongoing negotiations, while emphasizing that no deal has yet been finalized. School officials hope to return to their property by fall, utilizing portable classrooms along with the unaffected part of the campus. Enrollment is estimated at roughly 2,700 post-fire, with discussions about holding graduation at the remaining football stadium.
The old Sears building in Santa Monica is being eyed as the temporary home of Palisades Charter High School, which was damaged in the Palisades fire in early January.
Administrators and board members hope that students can return to the Palisades High property as soon as the fall, using portable buildings as well as the 70% of the campus that did not catch fire.
Magee recently estimated the post-fire enrollment at about 2,700. The location will be farther from the homes of people who lived in the Palisades, but many of those residents are scattered around the L.A. area after losing their houses to the fire.
School administrators briefly acknowledged the ongoing negotiations during a meeting of the school's board of directors, who stressed that a deal had not yet been reached.
