LOS ANGELES — A day after a threat by a former faculty member led Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana to announce a closure through the rest of the week, officials said Wednesday that the campus would reopen with additional security personnel and safety protocols.
All offices on campus will open Thursday for "everyone involved in the areas of counseling, athletics, campus ministry, the business office, activities, advancement and deans from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.," according to a statement by school President Michael Brennan and Principal Frances Clare.
A flex day is planned Friday for all teaching faculty and students, Brennan and Clare said. Any student who needs to meet with a teacher, counselor or other school personnel to make up work or take tests or for other reasons should do so.
