High Winds Prompt Safety Measures at Pasadena Unifed Schools

STAFF REPORT

The Pasadena Unified School District is evaluating unfolding wind events on Tuesday and may use a modified “rainy day” schedule in response to a High Wind Warning and Dust Advisory issued by the National Weather Service for the San Gabriel Valley.

The weather alert, covering January 7-8, 2025, has prompted the District to consider schedule modifications affecting recess, lunch, and physical education. Students and staff should follow regular drop-off and pick-up procedures at the school while using additional caution.

“We are monitoring conditions to ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff,” Superintendent Elizabeth Blanco, Ed.D., said in a statement to the School District community.

District administrators will continue to monitor the situation overnight and through the next couple of days, with plans to keep the School District community informed of any changes.

The modified scheduling represents a precautionary measure as the District works to ensure student and staff safety during the weather advisory period.
