Thomas: All Escambia Schools Open, All Extracurricular Activities On
September 7, 2017
THIS IS AN OUTDATED, ARCHIVED STORY.
Escambia County School Superintendent Malcolm Thomas has announced that school will proceed as planned for the rest of this week, including football and all extracurricular activities.
“Current projections for the storm track for Hurricane Irma indicate that our area will be spared the greatest part of this storm. So, we are making this announcement now, to reduce speculation about any school closings this week and to allow families to plan,” said Superintendent Malcolm Thomas. “All Escambia County (FL) public schools will be open for the rest of this week. All sports and extracurricular activities planned for this weekend are still on schedule.”
“We will monitor weather updates and should the storm’s track change, we will evaluate the possible impact and, if necessary, put out any updates or announcements over the weekend,” he said.
The College Fair scheduled Monday evening at Pensacola State College, Sept 11th, has been canceled because many of the colleges and universities planning to attend from the southeast can longer commit to being here.

Someday people will figure out there is no where to run to unless they leave three days early. I’d rather stay with the house than be stuck on I-65 or I-10 in bumper to bumper traffic with total idiots running out of gas and the power out so good luck getting gas anyway. Kelly be cautious yes, but don’t panic. A hurricane is wind and rain, plenty of each but not the end of the world.
Linda you sound very bitter. Gas shortage is caused by greedy people, filling up jugs aftet jugs of gas. I’m a football parent.
Only been here 2 years. This is all new to me and I am a very paranoid person. You guess think it’s will pass us? No reason to panic and run?
Let’s think about this… Gas shortages in the area but fans, parents and etc. are expected to chase school buses to watch football teams play away ball games Friday evening. Smart…. Really smart!!! Most stations from Ensley to Molino are either out of gas this afternoon or limiting the amount of gas being pumped. Evacuees are also heading to our area which realistically cause more shortages….
thank you for not contributing to the hyperbole and cancelling regular activities. We have enough people overreacting to this situation, the best thing we can do is carry on as normal.
Mr Thomas and ALL at the ECSD, you are AWESOME in more ways than is possible to count or tell.
Your collective devotion and dedication to the Youth of America is outstanding and I thank each and every one of you whose work, job, position is integral and important to making that massive system WORK.
Thank You Each and Every Employee and Volunteers and School Resource Officers.
