At its meeting on March 9, 2026, members of the Superintendent’s School Consolidation Advisory Committee (SCAC) took the first in a series of polls to identify schools to remove from the list of sites under consideration.

Based on the results of the initial round, the following schools have been removed from the list and are currently not being considered by the Committee for closure or consolidation

High Schools

John Muir HS

Pasadena HS

Middle Schools

Octavia E Butler Magnet

Sierra Madre Middle School

Elementary Schools TK-5

Mary W. Jackson Steam

Madison Elementary

Sierra Madre Elementary

Alternative Schools

CIS Academy

Rose City HS

These results are also posted on the district’s website at pusd.us/scac so the community can follow the Committee’s process.

The Committee will continue its work through several additional rounds and, over time, will likely significantly narrow the number of school(s) to be considered for closure or consolidation. It is important to note that no school is slated to be closed or consolidated at this point in time, and that it is possible that the Committee may not recommend any schools for closure.

We appreciate the thoughtful approach the SCAC is bringing to this work on behalf of Pasadena Unified School District students and the broader community. We look forward to reporting additional information to the community as the committee works through this process.
