HURRICANE IAN UPDATE: 10 a.m., Tuesday
LIVE OAK — The Suwannee County School District will be out the rest of the week, starting Wednesday.
Superintendent Ted Roush announced Tuesday morning that the district would close Wednesday through Friday “out of an abundance of caution and consideration for our employees, students, and their families.”
With the schools closing, no extracurricular activities, including sporting events, will be played the end of the week.
The district plans to resume normal operations Monday.
“While working with local emergency management, we have increased optimism that our impact, as of the time of this notice, will not be as severe as believed only 24 hours ago,” Roush said in the statement. “However, given the unpredictable nature of these types of weather systems, we believe the most responsible action is to close for these dates, understanding that 24 hours from now, conditions and the path of Hurricane Ian could possibly change.”
