As Hurricane Helene begins to move closer to Florida’s shores, updated data from Flagler County Emergency Management has led Flagler Schools to make a change to its most recent decision regarding schools tomorrow.
Given the shift in forecast conditions as of our 8 p.m. update from Flagler County Emergency Management, we will now be closing all schools across the district for Friday, September 27. Any extracurricular activities or athletic events taking place after school hours and into the weekend will take place as scheduled.
After earlier deciding to open our schools, new developments with the storm have resulted in a shift in the forecast for tomorrow morning. This new forecast has led to the closing of all of our schools tomorrow. The safety of our students, faculty, staff and community remain our top priority. We appreciate your understanding and will bring you any necessary updates as they become available.
Please continue to monitor our district website and social media platforms for any further updates. We will contact you if there are any additional updates to share.
Please stay safe and adhere to any guidance provided by local authorities as the storm moves through our area.
