In response to recent violence in high schools, the Île-de-France Region is releasing a new emergency fund of 10 million euros to repair and secure the 170 institutions damaged during the October 2026 student movement.

The damage, including destroyed or partially disabled entrance gates, burned fences, alarm systems, video surveillance cameras, and broken windows and doors, affected 170 high schools in the Île-de-France region. In response, the Region has decided to mobilize this financial aid to cover building repairs, replacement of damaged equipment, and enhanced security.
This fund will also cover the costs of security personnel needed during the repair period. The Île-de-France Region has also adopted the "payer-of-damage" principle by becoming a civil party in about a hundred lawsuits. It will also sanction students responsible for damages by excluding them from aid from the regional application LABAZ for the school year following the sanction.
