The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has terminated agreements allowing three outside entities including a prestigious K-12 academy to use portions of its West Los Angeles campus.
The agency posted a notice on its website late Monday saying it had ended leases to Brentwood School and a parking lot firm and the license for an oil pumping operation on the 388-acre property.
The VA said it was taking the property in furtherance of President Trump’s executive order of last May calling for creation of a National Center for Warrior Independence with housing for 6,000 veterans.
The notice did not say whether the school would lose access to extensive athletic facilities it built on its 22-acre leasehold. Those include a football/soccer stadium, a baseball field, basketball pavilion, exercise equipment and a 10-lane swimming pool.
School officials issued a brief statement saying the VA had offered to meet with them in Washington.
