The Los Angeles Unified School District, in which 700,000 students receive an education, shut its hundreds of doors Tuesday after “credible electronic threats” were sent to a board member.
From LAist:
Police told the Los Angeles Times that a bomb threat prompted the district to close all schools effective immediately. At a press conference this morning, LAUSD Superintendent Ramon Cortines said “electronic threats” were made. Little other information about the threats is being released. Students, staff and parents were encouraged to stay away from campus until the situation is resolved.
Cortines says the district routinely receives threats, but this was a “rare” and specific so the district felt the need to shut the entire system down. He said that “many” schools were threatened and he referenced the recent terrorist attack in San Bernardino as a reason for the closure: “It is important that I take precaution based on what has happened recently, and what has happened in the past.”
Board of Education President Steve Zimmer said the district was acting “out of an abundance of caution.”
