Ivanho Elementary School News Today

Described. the quote was, it was not one school, two schools or three -- it was many schools, not specifically identified, but there were many schools. thats the reason i took the action that i did. it was to students at school. so we are now looking at some 640 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. more than 900 schools and 187 public charter schools now impacted by this. by the numbers, the district spans 720 square miles, including los angeles, and all are part of smaller cities and so...

Of course the current environment is such with what weve seen here just in san bernardino two weeks ago and even in paris, i think the threat that weve seen emerging here in the united states is something that factors in. but this is not something to take lightly. there are going to be a lot of resources allocated. certainly weve been listening to school officials talking about what it takes to get parents back to the school and get kids picked up. then of course there will be this very thorough...

How to link up with your kids. one of the things they stress for people listening perhaps on the radio or as you are driving, bring an i.d. if you dropped your son or daughter off at school, went off to work, make sure you have an i.d. to meet them at this reunion gate. thats a predetermined location the school district has. one other thing i want to pass on to our viewers, this has just been tweeted by the l.a. school police. if you want updates to your phone throughout the day on whats happeni...

You need to stay home today, theres a threat -- terror threat in your schools and i had not heard anything so i turned on the news and found out. then i did call my school and asked if i should stay home and they said yes. and the secretary said that the principal would be there and that they would be there with the children and they would be safe and they would be sent home. so no student will be left alone there. the plant manager around the principal are going to stay there and take care of t...

He conferred with? what did it take to take this extraordinary step here to close the entire public school system? >> yeah. obviously this was a huge discussion they must have had. we know that there is police that works with the superintendent, so clearly they all came together to discuss this threat, what they received and determine whether its credible enough to not want to take any chances when youre dealing with so many students. but again, to see more than 900 schools, talking about more t...

School has done what it did. so the federal involvement here -- now they may have to -- just because of so many schools to search, they may have to get federal agents involved to help with just the sheer manpower here but i think it is going to be a local operation to try to chase this down. but it is interesting what the superintendent said. it is not only recent events he said but past events. this has been a huge challenge for school administrators around the country, when you have basically ...
