Thursday school closures in LA County: LIST
LOS ANGELES - Residents in Los Angeles County have been devastated as multiple fires continue to rage in the area due to erratic and ferocious Santa Ana winds.
Tens of thousands of families from Hollywood, Santa Clarita, the Pacific Palisades and the San Gabriel and San Fernando valleys remain under evacuation orders. Due to the life-threatening situation, several school districts have canceled classes.
Also, officials confirmed Palisades High School suffered significant damage due to the Palisades Fire.
"Despite the fire damage to our campus, the heart of our school is the people who comprise our community. My outreach to you today is to reassure you that our school is still standing, and we will reopen this semester, although possibly in a manner other than originally planned," Palisades Charter HS Principal Dr. Pamela Magee said in a letter sent to the school community.
Marquez Charter Elementary was also damaged by the flames, officials said.
While many residents remain under evacuation orders, several schools and school districts remain closed for Thursday, Jan. 9.
