"We can reassure the community that it's a safe environment for them to return to."
"because it's a culmination of several months of rapid engagement and execution to really build a full campus for students."
"We had over 20 parents volunteering to help as we return to school."
Students returned to temporary bungalows at Marquez Elementary nine months after the Palisades fire destroyed the campus. The Los Angeles Unified School District completed a rapid rebuild of a temporary full campus and is offering bus transportation from Brentwood Science Magnet and Nora Sterry Elementary. Current enrollment fell from about 310 students pre-fire to 130, a 58% decline, with roughly 75% of original students dispersed to other schools. The $202 million project includes a permanent campus scheduled to open in the 2028–29 school year. Community volunteers aided the return, and musical history plays will continue for now.
