This action was announced a short time ago by city officials and will impact 435 elementary schools, 77 middle schools, 86 senior high schools, as well as hundreds of other learning centers.

All Los Angeles Unified schools and offices will be closed on Thursday, Jan. 9. The confluence of factors – wind, fire, and smoke – have created dangerous, complex situations that present unsafe conditions for our school communities. Select essential personnel will be contacted by their supervisors regarding potential work duties.

Students will continue to have digital access to academic resources as part of the District’s Continuity of Learning efforts. More information is available at
