This is a ridiculous plan. You may as well make the lease for impurpetuity, like the American “lease” of the Panama Canal Zone. The OUSD Board should be ashamed of themselves for even considering this 40 year lease. California had good public schools at one time. Forty years of austerity and privatization have decimated our public schools. Climb out of the neoliberal box and work to properly fund our public schools. Do not pawn our properties for a short term influx of cash.
