Update / Follow-up on the news : GARDEN GROVE : School Back on Its Feet After Arson Fire
Issue: Dr. Leroy L. Doig Intermediate School recovers from fire.
Background: An arson fire set at the school Oct. 9 damaged several classrooms and caused $250,000 in damage. The fire, which apparently was set to destroy evidence of a burglary there, has forced some teachers to teach classes in the school’s library and cafeteria.
Development: Ron Walter, superintendent of the Garden Grove Unified School District, announced recently that one suspect had been arrested and that more arrests are expected. Three of the six rooms damaged have been repaired and portable classrooms have begun to arrive to make up for those that will not be repaired for several months.
