Flooding Forces School Closures and Delays Across Eastern North Carolina
Flooding has caused significant disruptions across Eastern North Carolina, resulting in school closures and delays. Persistent nor’easter conditions combined with heavy rainfall have left many areas submerged.
Impact on Educational Institutions
Pamlico County Schools decided to cancel classes for students on Monday. This decision was due to extensive standing water and flood conditions in the county. However, staff members are expected to treat this day as an optional workday.
Pamlico Community College also announced the closure of its facilities on the same day. The adverse weather conditions necessitated this action to ensure the safety of all involved.
Delayed Start for Beaufort County Schools
Beaufort County Schools chose a different approach, opting for a delayed start. Classes will begin two hours later than usual on Monday. This delay aims to provide safer travel conditions as the community deals with hazardous roads.
- Pamlico County Schools: Closed for students; optional workday for staff.
- Pamlico Community College: Facilities closed.
- Beaufort County Schools: Two-hour delay for Monday.
Residents are advised to stay informed about further closures and to monitor local updates.
