Escambia Schools Closed Monday And Tuesday

August 26, 2012

Superintendent Malcolm Thomas has made the decision to close the Escambia County School District on Monday, August 27, 2012, and Tuesday, August 28, 2012.

The Escambia Emergency Operations Center has informed Thomas of the need to open hurricane shelters on Monday morning.

“Because our community relies heavily on the use of our schools for evacuation shelters, it is imperative that schools are made available during the evacuation order.  This decision allows parents, employees and the community adequate time to prepare and evacuate as appropriate,” Thomas said.

Only administrative and maintenance personnel are to report to work on Monday, August 27, 2012.  Other essential personnel as notified by their supervisor will report to work on Monday to assist with pre-storm preparation.

All remaining employees and all students should not report to work or school on Monday and Tuesday and await further instructions concerning Wednesday and beyond.

All extra-curricular activities scheduled for Monday and Tuesday have been canceled.

    READ THIS:

    This is Escambia County, Florida, not Alabama. Escambia, Ala. has a very poor track record with providing the information that we request. If/when they tell us, we’ll tell you

    Please do not ask about PSC, UWF or other schools in the comments. Information about other closures can be found on our main page under “Escambia Update” store. If it’s not listed there or in any other “Update” story on the front page, there has been no announcement disseminated to all media.

    Thanks!
