UPDATE #3: Schools will be closed on Tuesday as required by the state so we can host evacuees from Hurricane Milton. Our plan now includes 3 days of school closures -- Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Employees who have not completed storm preparations as required by IT such as moving technology equipment off the floor and away from windows should report to their work sites on Tuesday and leave after those tasks and any other urgent work assignments have been completed.
UPDATE #2: Select schools will open as shelters early Wednesday, not on Tuesday as originally reported. Lake County Emergency Management will release details.
UPDATE #1: Tuesday (10/8) will be an early release day. Schools will follow a Wednesday schedule for dismissals, and ELC will close at 4 p.m.
Lake County schools will be open on Tuesday (10/8) and closed on Wednesday (10/9) and Thursday (10/10) in anticipation of Hurricane Milton. All after-school activities for Tuesday (10/8) are canceled with the exception of ELC, which will remain open until normal closing hours. Select schools will open as shelters on Tuesday. Timing and locations will be determined by Lake County Florida Emergency Management. We will share those details once they are released. Friday (10/11) is a pre-scheduled student day off and a teacher planning day. Teachers will have the option to work from home or at their school site on Friday, if it’s safe for them to do so.
