After wildfires in Maui, Hawaii, damaged several schools, hundreds of students remain unaccounted for, causing anxiety and frustration among the community. The Hawaii Department of Education has urged families to enroll in new schools or distance learning programs, but approximately 966 kids are still unenrolled. Officials are actively reaching out to contact families, but some have not been reached yet. Social media videos and theories about the missing children have caused further concern, and community members are demanding answers. The damaged Lahaina schools are expected to reopen after a fall break in October.
