The Los Angeles Unified School District has taken precautionary measures to close schools in response to the ongoing threat of wildfires in the central and eastern parts of the system. Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho announced that approximately 10% of total schools within the district have been shuttered.
As the nation's second-largest school district, Los Angeles Unified enrolls over 429,000 students from transitional kindergarten through 12th grade and spans across 710 square miles. The safety and well-being of students and staff are top priorities during this challenging time.
