SONOMA COUNTY (KRON) — Thirteen schools are scheduled to reopen Friday morning in Sonoma County and 11 more on Monday after fires forced them to close for three weeks.
KRON4’s Lydia Pantazes is at Piner High School in Santa Rosa, where a friendly “Welcome Back” sign stands in the front of campus.
There are several schools that burned during the fire, others served as shelters.
For example, Elsie Allen High School and Lawrence Cook Middle School were used as shelters during the evacuations caused by the Tubbs and Nuns fires.
