LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is working with local authorities to clamp down on cannabis dispensaries near school campuses, according to officials.

“Since I arrived in Los Angeles, I have heard reports about dispensaries that are located across the street from some of our schools,” Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho said in a statement. “If this were your child, would you want a dispensary in your neighborhood or zip code? As caretakers of our community’s children, we must ensure that we keep them safe, healthy and thriving.”
