School's out for summer.Connie Llanos in the Daily News.

The Los Angeles Unified School District became the latest in a number of districts statewide to announce the cancellation of summer courses this year.

Officials announced Thursday that summer classes will be canceled for elementary and middle school campuses, and only a limited number of courses will be offered to high school students.

The move will affect more than 225,000 students and save the district about $34 million, officials said. It comes as the district seeks to close a budget gap of $130 million in the next six weeks.
