Mayor Bass Announces City Support for LAUSD Families In Event of School Closures

LOS ANGELES — Mayor Karen Bass March 20 has authorized the following resources to be provided to support LAUSD families in the event schools are closed this week. 

“In the event Los Angeles Unified Schools are closed, we are ready to provide safe places and meals so students are cared for and parents can keep working,” said Mayor Karen Bass. “Schools are so much more than centers of education – they are a safety net for hundreds of thousands of Los Angeles families. We will make sure to do all we can to provide resources needed by the families of our city.”

Mayor Bass continues to be closely engaged with all parties involved.

The City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks will offer 21 recreation centers to serve as grab and go locations as part of LAUSD food distribution program Tuesday, from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m., March 21.

The Department is also prepared to offer a Special Edition After School Club Program at 30 recreation centers in the event of LAUSD school closures this week. The program will be free and available to elementary school students in 1st to 5th grades 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., March 21 to March 23. Registration will be available online on Monday, at 1 p.m., March 20. Slots are first registered, first served. Due to limited space, students must be checked-in by 8:15 a.m. or will lose their registration space for the day.

The program will include assistance with school assignments, recreation activities, lunch, and snacks. If school closures do not take place, the Special Edition After School Program will be discontinued.
