Lynwood Unified Makes Plans to Shift Campus Instruction to Address Lynwood High School Structural Concerns Share this:
Lynwood – In an effort to support student and staff safety, Lynwood Unified is planning to physically move instruction off Lynwood High School’s campus in 2021-22 as the District works to resolve structural issues discovered after exterior ceiling panels collapsed on campus in June 2020. The Board of Education discussed plans moving forward based on a staff facilities update and recommendation during a Jan. 24 special Board of Education meeting. Students have been learning virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020. Following the breach in June, the District hired an engineering team to review the reliability of the school’s G Building, built in July 2000, and to determine the extent of repairs. Out of an abundance of caution, the District is also assessing all other LHS campus structures to ensure they are structurally sound and to identify other repair needs. While the review is underway, the District is making plans to shift instruction now since staff is currently developing the class schedule and programs for the 2021-22 school year.
