Los Angeles school district officials are developing a plan to relocate students at two elementary schools affected by a nearby natural gas leak, The Times has learned.
Under plans that have been under discussion, students at Porter Ranch Community School and Castlebay Lane could be moved to a currently closed campus or to other schools with space, said officials who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to speak.
Odor from the gas leak has been an irritant and a distraction — and has affected attendance among staff and students at the schools, according to the district and the teachers union.
The Board of Education is likely to take up the topic at a Thursday meeting, where board members also are expected to resume deliberating over the choice of the next leader for the nation’s second-largest school system.
