Columbus County weather prompts school and office delays and closures
Columbus County has been experiencing disruptions due to severe weather conditions. The effects of the recent nor’easter have led to heavy rain and flooding, causing significant road closures.
Impact on Local Schools and Offices
As a consequence, Columbus County Schools announced a two-hour delay for Tuesday, October 14. This decision was influenced by the need to ensure the safety of students and staff following the weekend’s adverse weather.
Whiteville City Schools and Southeastern Community College
The conditions also prompted Whiteville City Schools to switch to remote learning on Monday, October 13. Southeastern Community College similarly operated on a two-hour delay on the same day.
Columbus County Offices
Even though Columbus County Schools were closed on Monday, the county offices did not open until 10 a.m. The delay aimed to address the potentially hazardous conditions affecting transport and accessibility.
