Hurricane Fay Closing SChool?

Question

Ok well i live in polk county and i heard that the hurricane will hit Tampa Tuesday. so my question is if school officials will shut down schools and if so will they be shutting down polk county? i start my first day in College tomorrow.

Answer 1

I'm not exactly sure; I think Fay is still supposed to hit Tampa Bay, but sometimes different counties and districts (cough cough Pinellas) take a long time to decide whether or not they're going to close school.

I know that all schools along the Keys and Miami are already scheduled to be closed Monday and Tuesday (mostly because they're evacuating), even though Fay will still be a Tropical Storm then, and will strengthen to a CAT 1 by the time it reaches Tampa. So IF schools are closed, you'll most likely find out tomorrow. i personally think that they will, because they closed schools in St. Pete when lil' old Tropical Storm Frances hit.

-You can check Fox 13, ABC action or Tampa Bay's Ten online; I know that in 2005, they posted lists of counties who's schools were closed.

Answer 2

I havent heard anything about school being cancelled yet. Werent they saying theres like a 40% chance it will hit us or something like that. I dont want it to hit, because then we would have to make up those days later.

I live in broward and I'll be starting Broward college too tomorrow. They haven't yet to close our school now. But if they do more than likely your school will choose to close on Tuesday.
