Los Angeles Unified School District schools will remain open Monday as a powerful storm system moves through the region, Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said Sunday.

“Considering the fact that our students depend on nutrition at school, we have made the decision at this point to maintain our schools open going  into tomorrow,” Carvalho said at a press conference.

Plans on whether to remain open or close could change with shifting conditions, Carvalho said. By 7 p.m. Sunday, the district said the plan continued to be to keep schools open. In a Monday morning update, the district said all schools with the exception of Vinedale College Preparatory Academy and Topanga Elementary Charter School will remain open.

Students at Vinedale College Preparatory Academy in Sun Valley, which was affected by an evacuation warning, were being moved to Glenwood Elementary. Students at Topanga Elementary Charter School should report to Woodland Hills Academy.

At a Tuesday news conference, Carvalho said roughly 63% of students showed up for school today Monday. He said the district expected low attendance.

All schools in the Santa Monica-Malibu School District were closed Monday.

A flash flood warning remained in effect early Monday in Los Angeles County.
