Severe weather events have caused structural damage to various educational facilities across Brazil.

In Guarapuava, a strong windstorm in the Palmeirinha district damaged the Manoel Moreira de Campos Municipal School on November 4. Civil Defense teams inspected the site for structural safety, and while no injuries were reported, crews had to remove debris near power lines. The school scheduled repairs through the Urban Services Company to allow classes to continue.

By November 8, reports indicated further storm damage in other regions. In Curitiba, winds exceeding 70 km/h caused an Araucária tree to fall onto a state school roof, damaging four classrooms. Authorities confirmed the site remains available for the National High School Exam. In Rio de Janeiro, heavy rains led to a wall collapse at Colégio Visconde de Cairu in the Méier neighborhood, as well as a previous collapse at Colégio Estadual Antônio Prado Júnior in Tijuca. In both Rio cases, authorities isolated the affected areas to ensure safety while repairs were initiated.
