SAN DIEGO, CA —While the majority of San Diego County schools remained open to classes amid the current rain storm, schools in the Mountain Empire, Spencer Valley, Warner Unified and Julian Union Elementary and High School districts were closed Wednesday due to inclement weather and icy road conditions.

To start the week, Monday, schools in Warner Unified were closed, and schools in the Julian Union Elementary, Julian Union High, Mountain Empire Unified and Spencer Valley school districts had a late start. Schools in the Warner Unified School District had a late start on Tuesday, according to the San Diego County Office of Education.
