The coronavirus pandemic has led to a shift in everyone’s daily lives. One of the many impacts includes Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti invoking a ‘safer at home’ mandate until April 19, which encourages people in Los Angeles to practice social distancing by staying at home. The Los Angeles Unified School District closed its schools on March 16 and will keep them closed until at least April 19 when the state stay-at-home mandate is expected to end. But Los Angeles County Board of Education officials are recommending keeping schools closed until May 5. LAUSD’s superintendent, Austin Beutner, is scheduled to hold a news conference on March 23 and provide an update. Here’s a list of all the events that have been canceled or postponed at Daniel Pearl Magnet High School (DPMHS):
