Cold Spring, Montecito, Santa Barbara Public Schools to Reopen
Check back with Noozhawk for latest school openings and information.
Cold Spring School, Montecito Union School and all schools in the Santa Barbara Elementary and High School districts will be open Monday, school officials said Sunday.
All private schools are expected to reopen Monday, as well.
Cold Spring and Montecito Union schools also were closed Friday.
Although all Santa Barbara School District campuses will be open Monday, the schools will curtail outside activities because of particulates in the air, said Barbara Keyani, the district’s communications director.
“The Tea Fire has been a very difficult situation for the entire community; many of our students and staff were directly affected,” Keyani said in a statement. “In the face of this disaster, school staff are prepared to support the needs of our students, staff, and families.”
