Residents oppose potential sale or lease of Farming Point site
Residents urged Pomona Unified officials to halt or reconsider a potential sale or lease of the Farming Point site, saying the space serves families, young children and students with disabilities and that losing access would disrupt services and stability.

Speakers told the meeting transcript the facility has been used by families for about two years, and that staff and volunteers work to engage parents and create stable environments where children can thrive. Commenters said a sale or lease would force families to “start over,” increase commuting burdens and reduce access for children with disabilities, according to public comments captured in the transcript.

A commenter identified in the transcript as Commenter 2 described the site as a consistent place for families and special‑needs services and said disruption would be harmful to children who already face instability. Another speaker (Commenter 1) emphasized the program's role in supporting children's communication and development and called the services an example of respectful, effective community communication.

The transcript does not record a formal motion, vote or staff response on the possible sale or lease. The remarks appear in the public comment portion of the record and were presented as requests that district decisionmakers preserve the site and consider the impact on families and children with disabilities.

No specific timetable, sale price, lease terms or staff recommendation was provided in the excerpted transcript.
