Escambia Schools Closed On Monday, No Decision Yet On Tuesday
September 10, 2017
All Escambia County (FL) Schools will be closed on Monday under an order from Gov. Rick School closing all schools statewide.
“I will make an announcement Monday providing information about returning to school,” Superintendent Malcolm Thomas, who cautioned residents about fake news and rumors on social media and other sources.
“There are a number of ‘fake news’ reports being circulated about Escambia Schools. Currently, no schools are being utilized as shelters,” he said.
“Beware of posts that do not originate from official sources.”
That announcement will be posted on NorthEscambia.com. Like NorthEscambia.com on Facebook, or follow us @northescambia on Twitter for updates and notifications.

1st shelter opened at the Pensacola Bay Center. It has a capacity of 1,999. Only 168 people are there as of this afternoon. They won’t open other shelters until the Bay Center fills up.
