Superintendent: generators scheduled, website and communications under review after Malibu outage
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Sheldon acknowledged communication failures after a Malibu power outage, described generator deliveries and quick‑connect tests planned for the week, and urged families to complete free/reduced meal applications that support Title I programs.
Superintendent Dr. Sheldon told the board the district is reviewing its notification protocols after a same‑day power outage that affected Malibu campuses and led to staggered start times and an early dismissal at Malibu Elementary.
"SCE scheduled to deliver an emergency generator at MHS on Saturday," Dr. Sheldon said, adding that rented generators will be used at other sites if needed and that quick‑connect systems would be tested on Sept. 23. He acknowledged delays in parent notifications and said staff will review and improve protocols to ensure faster, clearer communications in future outages.
Dr. Sheldon also highlighted recent ribbon cuttings and school openings, asked families to file free and reduced‑price meal applications to maximize program funding, and said the district is working with SCE on longer‑term resilience measures.
