The Santa Barbara Unified School District is canceling classes Tuesday, March 14.
District officials say due to the incoming storm and after consulting with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff, South County superintendents, and the Office of Emergency Management, the decision was made to cancel classes district-wide out of an abundance of caution.
The district says contributing factors in the decision were the rate of rain expected when students, faculty and staff would be traveling to and from school.
