Carvalho said that ICE activity was reported "close enough" to four district schools Thursday, but they all occurred outside a two-block radius of the campuses.
The immigration activity happened near the following schools:
- Bakewell Primary Center in South L.A.
- Harte Prep Middle School in South L.A.
- Cortines School of Visual & Performing Arts
- Victory Boulevard Elementary and STEAM Magnet in North Hollywood
LAPD alerted one instance of the activity and information on others came from community partners, the superintendent added.
"We activated our protocols and we quickly notified the schools as well as the workforce, and every family member who has children enrolled in our school system," said Carvalho.
Despite the activity, Carvalho said there was no need for a lockdown on those campuses and there was no impact to attendance.
To ease fears or apprehension over the ongoing immigration raids, Carvalho said the district had thousands of conversations with parents ahead of the first day of school.
He added the district saw a 92% attendance rate Thursday, which is a 2% increase compared to last year.
This comes after an 18-year-old student at Reseda Charter High School was taken into custody by federal immigration agents last week.
On Monday, a 15-year-old boy was detained by federal agents outside Arleta High School but was later released.
