As wildfires rage across Southern California, thousands of young people face the risk of emotional and physical distress, with schools severely impacted and closed.
Wildfires have prompted hundreds of school closures across California this academic year, affecting children's academic, physical health, and mental well-being due to climate change.
Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho noted that about 100 out of 1,000 schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District were closed due to severe air quality issues.
The decision to close schools amid wildfires is complex, as many schools have better ventilation systems than homes but often must shut down when cities are engulfed in smoke.
