The High School Powerline Academy Camp is free and will be held at the East L.A. Skills Center from July 26 to Aug. 6, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

LOS ANGELES - Twenty alternative schools in Los Angeles County will close Wednesday, but the superintendent of schools said she is trying to raise support from local school districts so the campuses can be reopened.

Superintendent Darline P. Robles appeared before the Board of Supervisors to respond to a proposed 30-day moratorium on school closings by Supervisor Don Knabe, who had hoped to give the Office of Education and county staffers time to find alternatives to the shutdowns.
