LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho announced Sunday that schools will remain open on Monday despite a powerful storm system moving through the region. The decision was made with consideration for the fact that many students depend on school for nutrition.
While plans to keep the schools open could change with shifting conditions, Carvalho assured that the district is prepared to make decisions if necessary. Vinedale College Preparatory Academy in Sun Valley, which was affected by an evacuation warning, was the only school set to close on Monday, with students and staff being relocated to Glenwood Elementary.
The decision to keep the schools open comes as parts of Los Angeles County faced a high risk of flooding due to the storm system passing through the region. A flash flood warning was issued for a widespread part of the county.
Despite the potential challenges posed by the storm, the Los Angeles Unified School District remains committed to ensuring that students have access to education and nutrition. The district will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates to parents as needed.
It is important for parents and students to stay informed about the weather conditions and the safety measures being put in place by the school district. The decision to keep the schools open reflects the district’s efforts to balance the need for education with the safety and well-being of its students and staff.
As the situation continues to develop, the district will remain vigilant and ready to adjust plans if necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of the school community.
