California is heading into a winter shaped by a developing Super El Niño, and this session helps schools prepare rather than react. Dr. Durkee breaks down the forecast and what makes this pattern significant, including how impacts are expected to differ across Northern and Southern California and between urban and rural communities. Joffe follows with the operational side: what these forecasts mean for daily decisions at your school.
