According to the Hawaii Department of Education, the fire caused nearly 3000 students in La Haina to drop out of school, from preschool to high school. Among the only five schools in the area, four have been affected by the fire and have been closed, including two primary schools, one junior high school, and one high school. Only one school on the west side of Maui Island can barely maintain operation.
Previously, the education department proposed to offer online courses for students to engage in remote learning, but the local network signal was affected by a fire and was very unstable, making it difficult for many students to learn smoothly. Subsequently, the education department proposed to send students to other areas on the island for education, but this decision also faced opposition from many parents and teachers.

Teacher at Maui Island Middle School: No one would let their children leave after such a disaster, let alone pass through ruins marked with victims on the way.
At the hearing on the issue of returning to school held on the 24th local time, some parents accused the education department of responding negatively and proposed unrealistic plans.

Maui Island student parents: I really want to ask, will you really do your best and take all measures to get your children back to school?
