~ In the wake of the devastating firestorms that have ravaged the Los Angeles area, Governor Gavin Newsom has taken swift action to assist displaced students and support schools affected by the disaster. On January 14, 2025, Governor Newsom signed an executive order aimed at accelerating the return of California's children to the classroom and providing much-needed aid to schools.
The executive order, which can be found on the governor's website, suspends several state rules in order to allow displaced students to attend school outside of their district. It also makes it easier for damaged or destroyed schools to use temporary facilities and provides flexibility for schools struggling to meet minimum school year requirements. Additionally, state agencies have been directed to work with affected schools in developing a plan for serving displaced students and rebuilding damaged facilities.
Governor Newsom emphasized the importance of helping children return to a sense of normalcy after such a traumatic event. "We are using the full force of the state government to respond to the Los Angeles firestorms and ensure recovery for the thousands of residents who have been impacted by this unimaginable loss, including school-aged children," he stated.

Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond echoed this sentiment, stating that "our impacted school communities are facing unimaginable and devastating circumstances" and that it is crucial for them to receive resources and flexibility in order to recover and continue providing quality education.
This executive order is just one of many actions taken by Governor Newsom in response to the fires. He has already signed multiple executive orders aimed at providing rapid assistance, including suspending permitting processes and supporting ongoing firefighting efforts. The governor also continues to work with both state agencies and the legislature in order to provide aid to impacted communities.
The state's response has been all-encompassing, with over 15,000 personnel deployed and nearly 2,000 fire engines, water tenders, aircrafts, and bulldozers working tirelessly to combat the fires. Governor Newsom has also declared a state of emergency and issued four executive orders to support affected communities, and President Biden has approved a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration to further aid in response efforts.

For those seeking assistance, the state has created a hub for information and resources at CA.gov/LAfires. Additionally, individuals and business owners who have suffered losses from the wildfires can apply for disaster assistance through various channels, including online at DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 800-621-3362.
In light of the ongoing danger posed by severe winds in Southern California, Governor Newsom has doubled down on the state's commitment to providing resources. This includes augmenting personnel and equipment already responding to fires in the Los Angeles area.
Furthermore, Governor Newsom has proposed billions of dollars in new funding for firestorm response and recovery efforts through a special session of the legislature. This funding will be crucial in boosting response efforts and supporting initial recovery.
In addition to these measures, the state is also providing tax relief for businesses impacted by the wildfires. The deadline for sales and use tax filing for Los Angeles County taxpayers has been extended until April 30, 2025.
As California continues to face these devastating firestorms, Governor Newsom remains committed to providing aid and support to those affected. The state's all-in response demonstrates its dedication to helping communities recover from this tragedy.
