According to SDCCD Acting Chancellor Gregory Smith, the decision to close the district is being made so that all facilities can be inspected as the brunt of Hilary’s wind and rain is still expected Sunday evening.
“The health and safety of our students and employees is our highest priority,” said Smith. “While we have received no reports of damage to any district facilities, we believe it best for the community to keep as many people as possible off local roads and highways.”
Monday would have been the first day of classes for approximately 50,000 students across the district. The district is informing students and employees via text and email.
