Elementary students in South Pasadena return to the classroom

South Pasadena TK through 2nd grade return to school
PASADENA, Calif. - Some South Pasadena elementary students returned to the classroom for the first time in nearly a year on Thursday.
For some of the little ones, it’s their first day of school ever. For others, it s back to the campus they haven t seen since the pandemic began.
Last week, the South Pasadena Unified School District school board approved the physical reopening of schools for in-person learning in preschool through second grades. Students who returned to the classroom on Thursday chose the district s hybrid instructional model.
After a couple of efforts to sell its current office stalled, the South Pasadena Unified School District has taken out a loan to close escrow on the new building it agreed to purchase last year.
Meanwhile, the district announced it has entered escrow with a development firm that has tentatively agreed to purchase its longtime home.
The SPUSD Board of Education pulled the trigger on the loan last week, around a month after agreeing to modify its purchase agreement for the new facility, located at 1100 El Centro St. The district is borrowing $11 million, at 2.48% interest over 20 years, with an option for early payment after it sells its current headquarters at 1020 El Centro St.
