The Ventura County Office of Education announced school closures across several districts due to the Mountain Fire impacting the area.
The closures will take effect Thursday, Nov. 7, and Friday, Nov. 8, as fire crews work to control the blaze and ensure community safety.
Affected Districts include Camarillo, Somis, Moorpark, Ventura and Oxnard where evacuation orders and road closures remain in place.
