September 27, 2024
In the wake of the devastation left by Hurricane Helene and the impact on our community, we urge our staff, students, and families to remain focused on each other and on recovering from the damage of this devastating weather event.
Just as the storm damaged homes and caused county-wide power outages, it also has affected our schools. At this time, we have been notified that power may not be restored to all of our facilities for at least a week. We will continue to receive updates and assess the situation.
The CCSD schools and facilities will be closed until at least through Wednesday, October 2, 2024. We will also share this news on our websites and via local news outlets.
In the meantime, we ask that our staff, students, parents, and community members stay off school campuses to allow our crews time to assess and address any damages.
As we all work to recover from the impact of Hurricane Helene, we believe our families must come first. The days ahead will be difficult, and we should focus on our families, our community, and our well-being. Stay safe and take care.
Sincerely,
Dr. Steven Flynt
Superintendent
