A mediator and attorneys for all parties are projecting a completed settlement by later this year in the legal battle over the Atlas Metals recycling facility, located next to Jordan High School.
L.A. school officials are suing S&W Atlas Iron & Metal Co., saying it has released metal projectiles, toxic fumes and metallic dust onto Jordan High School in Watts.
“LAUSD and Atlas agree, at least on a temporary basis, the safety wall is an added benefit for the school and should remain in place,” the attorneys wrote. The attorneys said Atlas would need to operate equipment and move scrap materials to make that happen and that “the safety wall will continue to be a beneficial enhanced barrier between the properties.”
“This is why we are directly engaged with the school district, working in good faith, to find real solutions to the situation that secures the safety of the students and allows our family business to continue to be a part of our community,” Weisenberg said., a community group focused on removing Atlas Metals from the area, released a letter addressed to President Biden, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass and others calling for more robust action.

City Councilmember Tim McOsker, whose district includes Watts, said he supports all discussions between LAUSD and Atlas Metals “to the benefit of the students or the families around the facility.”
