The Los Angeles school district is investing $2.2 billion to repair or rebuild schools damaged by fires, focusing on natural disaster resilience. Following last month's Pacific Palisades fire, Superintendent Alberto Carvalho announced new health and safety evaluations at two affected schools, as attendance has dropped. Additionally, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass issued a directive to aid the child-care sector, allowing displaced facilities to reopen citywide. This investment includes $725 million for reconstruction and $550 million for resilience improvements, illustrating the district's proactive stance towards future natural disasters.
A major expense will be the reconstruction of Palisades and Marquez elementary schools, most of which burned to the ground.
Attendance at both schools has been below normal - especially at Canyon, where some parents have left the school or said they intend to.
LAUSD anticipates natural disasters, setting aside $2.2 billion to repair fire-damaged schools and enhance resilience across campuses.
Displaced day cares would be allowed to reopen anywhere in the city and operate at higher capacity.
