Five-year-old Bernadette Gershon just started kindergarten last week at a Los Angeles Unified charter school. Though she wasn’t sure what her high school and middle school daughters would be working on, she had by late morning already looked through her fourth-grade son’s school work. In Riverside County, the Palm Springs Unified School District will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday because of highway flooding. With regular meals for students unavailable, the school district set up 13 locations for parents to pick up food. Hamilton had intended to spend much of the school day looking for a new job.
