SUPERINTENDENT ALBERTO M. CARVALHO ANNOUNCES THAT ALL MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, AUG. 27TH Miami-Dade Superintendent of Schools Alberto M. Carvalho announced today that all Miami-Dade County public schools, adult education centers and offices will be closed on Monday, August 27th, due to the effects of Tropical Storm Isaac. All extracurricular activities and athletic events for Monday have been canceled. The decision was made after conversations with Florida’s Governor and Commissioner of Education, and after consultations with Miami-Dade County Emergency Operations and the National Hurricane Center. The anticipation of high wind and flooding will make transportation to schools difficult, particularly for school buses. The effects of the storm are predicted to be felt Sunday night and Monday morning, which will make assessment of facilities difficult in time for school on Monday. Information updates on Tropical Storm Isaac and school status can be found at 305-995-3000. # # # 12-JS/470/GC |
