Maple Avenue building transfer complete

Yesterday marked the official closing on the transfer of ownership of the Maple Avenue Building to Orange County.

This milestone reflects a vision shaped by our community’s input, the leadership of the CUFSD Board of Education and Administration, and the collaborative work of the Maple Avenue Task Force in determining the best long-term solution for the building.
