因受到炸弹威胁,美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶15日决定关闭学区内从幼儿园到高中的900多所学校。
Around 900 Los Angeles schools closed due to bomb threat. All Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) schools will stay closed Tuesday in response to a reported bomb threat, Schools Superintendent Ramon Cortines said.
洛杉矶警方说,因为学区一位董事会成员接到针对学校的电话炸弹威胁,学区方面随即决定关闭辖区内所有学校并协同警方在学校进行安全检查,潜在威胁包括遗留在校园中的任何不明背包和包裹。
Police said the threat was called in to a School Board member. The threat is involving backpacks and packages left at campuses.
洛杉矶学区是美国第二大学区,有900多所学校,70多万名学生。
The closures applied to all LAUSD campuses, around 900 of them. Los Angeles Unified School District is the second-largest school district in the United States, which has more than 700,000 students.
学区方面告诉家长将孩子们安置在家中,带回还滞留在学校中的孩子,直到家长接走前,已到校的孩子们会有学校教职员工陪同。
School officials told parents to keep their kids home and retrieve those already taken to school. Students who have already been at school will be companied with school staffs and teachers until children contacted with their parents.
学区董事会主席Steve Zimmer称这是"出于高度谨慎之目的",他还呼吁家长尽量请假多和孩子在一起,并请求家长们工作的地方给予最大调度弹性。
Board of Education President Steve Zimmer said the district was acting "out of an abundance of caution." He urged parents to negotiate time off to be with kids and employers to show maximum flexibility.
洛杉矶学区的监督员柯蒂恩斯宣布:"不是一两所学校接到警报,而是许多学校都遭受炸弹威胁,虽然这些警报尚未得到证实,但由于接到警报的学校数量较多,所以决定关闭学校。"
Cortines told a news conference he has ordered all campuses searched Tuesday. Fearing the safety of schools and students, Cortines said he couldn't take a chance, so he asked police to search all campuses, adult school and early education centers before reopening Wednesday. Whether they will be open on Wednesday depends on the searching results later Tuesday.
