The district said in an update Monday afternoon that six schools—Cooperation, Dan Mini, Federal Terrace, Highland, and Patterson Elementary Schools—as well as Loma Vista Environmental Science Academy will operate “alternative learning hubs” for impacted children on Wednesday.
Families are invited to sign up by sending parents and guardians an online form, according to district officials.
