Wiseburn Unified School District

Sandra Murillo of the Los Angeles Times stated that having the entire Centinela district vote on the matter would make it less likely to pass.

[11] The district unified in July 2014, which meant Centinela Valley UHSD no longer covered Wiseburn USD territory.

[14] The district serves Hollyglen,[15] located in western Hawthorne,[7] and Del Aire and Wiseburn,[15] unincorporated areas south of Los Angeles International Airport.

[15] As of 2004 the district receives large amounts of property taxes from aerospace and high technology industries in eastern El Segundo.

[14] As of 2014[update] the companies in that area include AIG,[16] Boeing, Mattel, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and Xerox.

[8] Jean Merl of the Los Angeles Times wrote in 2004 that Wiseburn "provides by far the largest portion of [the Centinela Valley Union High School District]'s assessed property tax valuation.

[7] As of 2014 the district allows parents in the Ladera Heights community and the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Mar Vista, Playa del Rey, Playa Vista, and Westchester to send their children to Wiseburn schools on inter-district transfers.

[16] The school is being established in the 201 N. Douglas St. building, on a 2-acre (0.81 ha) plot of land across the street from the Los Angeles Air Force Base and near El Segundo Boulevard.

The facility, bought by the Wiseburn district for $46 million, was formerly leased by Northrop Grumman and owned by Douglas Property Holdings Co., LLC.

On the same day the Wiseburn district assumed ownership, taking it from Continental Development Corp.[16] The renovation will be designed by the architecture company Gensler.

The Wiseburn School District plans call for building an auditorium and a gymnasium separate from the existing structure.

[16] Robert Kuznia of the Daily Breeze wrote that the district selected the site because of the proximity to the aerospace companies and because of the room allowed for parking and athletic fields.
