LA wildfires: With over a dozen schools ravaged, rebuilding could ignite funding crisis

Recent wildfires have left over a dozen Los Angeles schools severely damaged, with five destroyed entirely. Rebuilding could take years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. California’s Proposition 2 fund, a $10 billion bond for school construction and repairs, is seen as a key resource but may be depleted quickly due to high demand. Smaller districts fear they will struggle to secure necessary funds. Mental health support and temporary solutions are immediate priorities.
