State school funding is based on average daily attendance days, so cancellations can affect how funds are distributed. The state previously offered relief to Napa-area schools closed after August's earthquake.
"I urge everyone to use common sense and to avoid taking unnecessary risks, especially when taking their children to and from school in the heavy rain and strong wind gusts," state Superintendent Tom Toraksonsaid in a statement. "The safety of our students, parents, teachers, school employees, and communities is our top priority."
