Frequently Asked Questions
Check the live district status table above for real-time closures. Most California districts announce decisions by 5:30–6:00 AM on the day of the event.

Sign up for email alerts using the form on this page. You can also follow ABC7 News, NBC Bay Area, and NEWS10 ABC Sacramento for breaking closure announcements.

Yes. Wildfire smoke and active fire proximity are among the most common reasons California schools close, particularly in Southern California, the Central Valley, and foothill communities. Districts monitor Air Quality Index (AQI) readings and may close when air quality reaches the Unhealthy range (AQI 151+) or when evacuation orders are issued.
Yes. Many California districts have formal air quality closure policies tied to AQI thresholds. When AQI exceeds 150 (Unhealthy), outdoor activities are typically cancelled. When AQI exceeds 200 (Very Unhealthy), some districts will close entirely or shift to remote learning. Check your district's website for its specific AQI closure policy.

How Decisions Are Made

Check the latest California school closings, delays, and cancellations today. This page monitors real-time announcements from school districts across California — including Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and Fresno — with status updates delivered throughout the day. Most California districts announce closure decisions by 5:30–6:00 AM, though wildfire or air quality events can trigger closures on short notice at any hour.

Closures in California are most commonly caused by wildfires and smoke, poor air quality from seasonal fires, Sierra Nevada and foothill snowstorms, and winter flooding from atmospheric river storms. California superintendents coordinate closely with Cal Fire, the California Air Resources Board, and local Office of Emergency Services to evaluate conditions and make timely safety decisions for students and staff.

Many California districts have adopted Independent Study or Remote Learning Day policies, allowing students to continue instruction online when schools close for wildfires, air quality emergencies, or severe weather. Check your district's parent portal — such as ParentSquare, Aeries, or Illuminate — to confirm whether a closure is designated as a remote learning day and to access any posted assignments.
