As several parts of Southern California prepare for strong winds and fire weather warnings, local school districts are taking precautions.
The Los Angeles Unified School District announced Tuesday that they will be taking precautions such as limiting outdoor activities for students at schools that are impacted by high winds.
In a social media post, the district said they will be securing any objects that may become airborne and keep students and staff away from them.
“The District will continue to monitor weather conditions and provide updates as necessary. We are grateful for all Los Angeles Unified employees who work tirelessly to keep our schools safe every day,” LAUSD said in a post.

Any construction activity that may produce dust will also be put on hold during the strong wind warnings.
The Santa Monica-Malibu School District also announced Tuesday that they will be closing their Malibu schools out of precaution due to the winds.
