District denies rumor that Uplands site will be sold for corporate retail; says no disposition plans
Summary
Community members raised a circulating email claiming Uplands would be sold for corporate/retail use; district leaders and a board representative denied any plans to sell district property and said only an undefined small sliver of land near Lake Grove might be considered for other uses after design review.
A community participant raised a circulating email that claimed the district planned to sell Uplands for retail or corporate use. The presenter responded directly: "That is not accurate, period. It is our school, it is our property," and board representatives reiterated there have been no discussions to dispose of district real property for sale.
Speakers noted there is a unique piece of land adjacent to Lake Grove — including an old bus barn and operations facility — that could be subject to future design and city planning review and might yield roughly 2–2.5 acres for other uses, but they emphasized that no disposition decisions have been made and the district's stated preference has been to keep active schools on their current sites.
