Superintendent Shelton confirms power restoration at key campuses
Schools in Malibu are now set to reopen on Wednesday, Jan. 22, following closures caused by recent wildfires and severe weather conditions, Superintendent Dr. Antonio Shelton announced in a message to the community on Tuesday.
Malibu Elementary, Malibu Middle, and Malibu High Schools, which were closed due to a public safety power shutoff, will resume regular full-day schedules if power remains restored. Parents and staff will be notified by 5:15 a.m. if there are any changes due to additional power outages.
“School provides a sense of comfort and familiarity for children during times of recovery,” Shelton said. “Being surrounded by friends, teachers, staff, and routines they know can make a significant difference in their lives.”
Webster Elementary School reopened earlier, as power was restored there sooner.
Please note that the City of Malibu’s Town Hall meeting has been postponed to Saturday, Jan. 25 at 4 p.m. at Malibu High School, 30215 Morning View Dr. More information is available on the city website.
“Our hearts remain with the families, staff, and community members who have lost homes and are navigating the challenging process of rebuilding their lives,” Shelton said.
