Azusa Unified board approves amendment lowering price for surplus site sale to $24 million, adopts routine proclamations
Summary
The board voted 4-0 to approve a fourth amendment to the Taylor Morrison purchase-and-sale agreement reducing the price to $24,000,000 and adding profit-sharing language; the board also approved several proclamations and recorded a closed-session student settlement (OAH 2026020802).
The Azusa Unified School District Board of Education on April 21 approved a fourth amendment to a purchase-and-sale agreement with Taylor Morrison, California LLC for a former district property, lowering the purchase price to $24,000,000 and adding a profit-sharing provision intended to protect district interests.
Superintendent-led staff updated the board in a facilities report that Taylor Morrison — the developer for the Powell Elementary site project referenced in the update — will hold a community meeting to present details to neighbors. Board materials and staff remarks said the amendment reduces the sale price and amends contract language to include a buyer profit-sharing arrangement; the board approved the amendment by a 4-0 roll-call vote.
The board also approved a series of routine proclamations and resolutions by unanimous votes, including Resolution 25-26-20 declaring May 2026 certificated school employee week, Resolution 25-26-21 declaring May 17–23, 2026 classified school employee week, Resolution 25-26-22 declaring May Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and Resolution 25-26-23 declaring May National Mental Health Awareness Month. Each item passed 4-0 after short remarks by trustees.
In closed session, the board reported approving a student matter settlement in the Office of Administrative Hearings case number 2026020802 (student identifier shown in board report). The closed-session report listed the matter as resolved and provided the OAH case reference.
Why it matters: The amendment to the sale contract affects district real estate revenue and the structure of the developer’s obligations; local residents will have an opportunity to review development plans at community meetings. The closed-session settlement is a formal personnel/student matter resolution recorded by the board.
What’s next: Staff indicated community meetings by Taylor Morrison and others are planned; the district will proceed with the amended sale terms and follow procurement/bid timelines for related campus projects.
