The district will provide an update on the status of school operations for Friday by 4:00 p.m. PT on Thursday. The decision on whether schools will reopen on Friday will be based on ongoing assessments of the fire situation and its impact on school facilities.
The closure of all schools within the Los Angeles Unified School District underscores the seriousness of the fire threat in the region. Authorities are urging residents to stay informed about the evolving situation and to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
