Information from the School District of Hillsborough County
Please read information from the School District of Hillsborough County:
We continue to work closely with Hillsborough County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in monitoring the track of Tropical Storm Ian. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) still predicts that the storm will intensify and track northward toward the west coast of Florida. As such, county emergency officials have made the decision to activate 49 of our schools as storm shelters to house community members who will be required to evacuate their homes starting tomorrow.
Considering this decision and the time needed to evacuate our neighbors, we have no choice but to close schools and suspend all after-school programs and extra-curricular activities beginning tomorrow, Monday, September 26 through Thursday, September 29. It is anticipated that we will open and resume normal operations on Friday, September 30.
