Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire which gutted a historic school gymnasium in Ventura County.
The huge blaze on Sunday destroyed Santa Paula High School’s Bryden Gym, which was built in the 1930’s. Classes at the school have been cancelled for the rest of the week.
Elizabeth Garcia is Santa Paula High School’s Principal. She says one of the big issues is what to do with things like basketball games scheduled for the gym.
They are planning to use the gym at the community’s middle school for some events, and will keep the away game schedule for sports teams.
Garcia says the gym was insured. But, the rebuilding process could take years.
There are plans to set up a fundraising campaign to help with the rebuilding process.
