LAUSD Keeps Schools Open Amid Severe Weather, Ensuring Access to Meals and Safety

Despite the storm, LAUSD reports a successful school day with 63% student attendance and no plans to close Tuesday.

Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) decided to keep schools open during the storm, citing the importance of providing meals to students.
About 63% of students attended school, while around 90% of staff made it to campuses, despite the 10th wettest day ever recorded in the city.
Two LA public schools closed due to hazardous conditions, and some schools experienced power outages and lost phone service.
Most Southern California school districts, including LAUSD, remained open, with some moving to online classes due to the weather.
LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho emphasized the decision to keep schools open was correct, highlighting the district's preparedness and the importance of school meals.
