San Francisco Schools Reopen After Earthquake Inspections
San Francisco, CA – Public schools across San Francisco reopened today after citywide inspections confirmed the safety of most buildings following last week’s 6.7-magnitude earthquake. Crews worked around the clock to assess and repair minor damage to several schools, ensuring they were safe for students and staff.
“We are grateful for the quick action by inspectors and emergency crews,” said SFUSD Superintendent Clara Ramirez. Some schools in the Mission District and South of Market areas remain closed for repairs, with students temporarily relocated to neighboring campuses.
Parents expressed relief at the reopening, though some voiced concerns about preparedness for future quakes. City officials plan to accelerate seismic retrofitting in older buildings as part of broader safety measures.
