The Los Angeles Unified School District has announced plans to reopen almost all schools and offices on Monday, with the exception of seven schools. Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho confirmed that two schools were unable to reopen due to damage caused by the Palisades fire and will need to be rebuilt before welcoming students back.
For the schools that are reopening, an inclement weather schedule will be implemented to limit outdoor activities and athletics. Additionally, masks will be provided to students and employees to ensure safety during the ongoing pandemic.
The district has stated that the remaining closed schools will reopen as soon as conditions allow, with families being notified promptly. Continuous monitoring of conditions will take place overnight, and any updates to the reopening plan will be communicated by 5:30 a.m. PT on Monday.
Los Angeles Unified School District is the second largest school district in the United States, catering to over 600,000 K-12 students. The district's commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of its students and staff is evident in its cautious approach to reopening schools amidst challenging circumstances.
