LA County school districts announce fire-related closures; at least 3 buildings sustain ‘significant damage’

Widespread wildfires across Los Angeles County have forced city schools to shutter, with at least three buildings in Pacific Palisades sustaining “significant damage” from the raging blazes.

A spokesperson for Los Angeles’ largest school district, the Los Angeles Unified Schools (LAUSD), confirmed to Fox News Digital that at least three schools sustained damage from the fierce flames.

“Palisades Charter High School, Palisades Charter Elementary School, and Marquez Elementary School have sustained significant damage as a result of the Palisades fires,” a spokesperson said. 

The school district said it is working closely with authorities and emergency response to assess the situation and determine next steps to minimize disruption to students’ learning.
