As schools in LA reopen, parents worry about harmful ash from wildfires

Weeks after the worst of the deadly fires tore through Los Angeles suburbs, families are grappling with the reality that toxic ash from burned cars and homes could be a health issue for awhile, especially for children. One charter elementary school just a half mile from the Palisades Fire burn is set to reopen after a deep clean, yet ash lingers on leafy shrubs just outside. School officials say they are confident in their decisions to reopen. Some parents are urging them to temporarily relocate students to other in-person locations. Others are trying to transfer their kids to different schools.
