The cities of Passau and Günzburg, along with the district of Wertingen, exhibited resilience in canceling classes and ensuring the safety of students and staff during the flood situation.

In order to manage the fallout from the storm and flood, the Ministry of Culture emphasized the importance of flexibility in the education system, recognizing the need for schools to adjust teaching schedules and curricula to accommodate for any losses due to cancellations. As the weather in Bavaria improved, schools in the affected areas gradually resumed normal operations, working to minimize the impact of the flooding incidents on students' education.
