Los Angeles Unified School District will close all of its schools on Monday due to Tropical Storm Hilary, Superintendent Alberto Carvalho announced.
“It is not an easy decision to make,” he said during Sunday’s press conference. “We know the impact that [the] closing of schools brings to our community; however, let’s consider this. The peak of this storm will take place in the middle of the night, depriving us of our ability to inspect schools or determine access to school to be safe.”
