LAUSD closures due to storm bring back 'pandemic-era' memories
Closing schools created a hardship for some parents, though some said even though Tropical Storm Hilary wasn't as strong as expected, they understand the move to keep students at home.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- With tropical storm warnings in effect for more than 42 million people in Southern California, Hilary is causing many disruptions in the Greater Los Angeles area, including school closures.

The Los Angeles Unified School District -- the nation's second-largest school district serving nearly 565,000 students -- will be closed Monday because of the storm.



"Our inability to survey buildings, our inability to determine access to schools makes it nearly impossible for us to open,'' LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said during a Sunday afternoon news conference.



But Carvalho said the district's schools are expected to reopen tomorrow on a normal schedule. He says assessments of LAUSD campuses are still being conducted, but so far, two dozen campuses have no phone or internet service, and at least one campus experienced a minor mudslide. He says the storm has also limited access to some schools and district facilities in the Sun Valley area.



Dozens of cars were trapped in floodwaters in Palm Springs and surrounding desert communities across the Coachella Valley as Tropical Storm Hilary moved over the region.


Here is a list of school districts canceling classes Monday. This list will continue to be updated as announcements are made.
