Wildfires forced students from schools. Where did they enroll?

JULIANA YAMADA Los Angeles Times STUDENTS attend the first day of classes Aug. 12 at a charter school in Los Angeles. At least a dozen schools were destroyed or damaged.

The wildfires in early January disrupted education for more than 725,000 students and destroyed or damaged at least a dozen schools.

Several school districts, including Alhambra Unified, Pasadena Unified, San Marino Unified and Glendale Unified, closed within the first few days of the fires. Schools in the central and eastern part of Los Angeles Unified School District closed because of power outages and poor air quality.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order on Jan. 14 allowing students to attend schools outside of their normal district boundaries. Most students moved almost immediately, with schools reporting a bump in enrollment in the first month post-fires. Many fire-displaced students will remain at their new schools this fall.
