Superintendent says making decisions now will help families make necessary adjustments
(OBA®) – Baldwin County, AL – Schools to close on Aug. 30 because of Hurricane Ida, Superintendent Eddie Tyler said.
Parents:
In line with Baldwin County and other government operations, Baldwin County Public Schools will be closed Monday, August 30th. This includes central office, all school facilities, after school care and all extracurricular activities. We expect school to resume on Tuesday, Aug. 31, but will make an announcement Monday if that changes.
Our concern is flooding and a possible two-to-four-foot storm surge projected by the National Weather Service. They are expecting up to a half foot of rain in some areas of Baldwin County depending on the speed of the storm. We've already had a very significant amount of rainfall in our area this month and it will not take much for flooding to occur. All of this combined with an overnight, early morning arrival creates significant difficulties for our transportation department to travel in and around low lying and waterfront areas.
We could take a wait-and-see approach, but I fear any further delay will make it more difficult for parents and businesses to make adjustments so we are making this decision now. Again, I expect we will be open and back to our normal schedule on Tuesday.
Please take the necessary precautions going into tomorrow and Monday. Thank you all and stay safe.
Eddie Tyler,
Superintendent
