Why does Bassett Unified School District need to lease this vacant lot?

Like many school districts in the region, BUSD has experienced a significant decline in student enrollment. Some neighboring school districts have had to close schools as a result. While BUSD carefully manages its budget, additional funding is essential to maintain and enhance educational programs, attract and retain high-quality teachers, and provide the best possible learning environment for students.

Leasing this vacant lot is a proactive solution that generates much-needed funding while also bringing new family-oriented housing to the community, helping to attract and retain students for years to come.
