Tens of thousands of children across the Southeast remain out of their classrooms one week after Helene, the deadliest hurricane to strike the mainland United States since Katrina.
Hurricane Helene ravaged school buildings, demolished football fields and killed young children and their educators, leaving students cut off from academics, friends and stabilizing routines.
Even when schools reopen in hard-hit regions, students could face long-lasting academic and emotional setbacks, according to youth development experts.
As the climate changes and storms grow bigger and more frequent, they are disrupting the rhythm of school districts and threatening children's academics, physical health and mental well-being.
