Schools are off tomorrow mainly due to closings in some regions caused by Tropical Storm Helene. Several school districts, especially in Florida and nearby areas, are closing schools as a precautionary measure because of the storm's predicted heavy rain, high winds, and debris, which could disrupt bus operations and pose safety risks. For example, Volusia County Schools have announced that all schools and district offices will be closed on Thursday, September 26, 2024, due to the storm, with other counties in the region following similar closure plans to keep students and staff safe.
There may also be school closures in other regions related to local holidays or weather, but the immediate widespread closure tomorrow is largely connected to storm preparedness.
