DISTRICT BEGINS MOVE INTO NEW QUARTERS.

As if the holidays weren't already hectic enough, Burbank school district officials packed up their desks Friday for a weekend move to a new district office.

About 45 Burbank Unified School District employees put the last of their files and decorations into boxes. The staff finished up late Friday when movers began to arrive.

``It's been two days of packing,'' said Judy Dexter, supervisor of the fiscal services department.

Movers will carry the truckloads of office supplies over the weekend to the new district headquarters at 1900 West Olive Ave.

The city bought the current headquarters on North Buena Vista Street a year ago. City officials plan to build a new library on the property.

District employees in the facilities, business and personnel departments will start work Monday in the new location.

The rest of the less than 100 district staff will move in the spring when a parking lot across the street from the new location is completed.

Burbank Unified School District headquarters have been located at the North Buena Vista Street location for more than 15 years. Prior to that, some district employees worked in a building on Monterey Avenue and others worked in a building on Magnolia Boulevard.
