Significant damage has been reported at Palisades High School and five schools within the Pasadena Unified School District. LAUSD schools will remain closed through Friday, with air quality concerns exacerbating the situation for students and staff. Authorities are working to assess the damage, with at least eight schools affected by the fires, prompting a response from local educators offering support and refuge to those impacted.
