UPDATE
All Gulf District Schools are closed Thursday and Friday due to the anticipated more-westerly track from Tropical Storm Hermine.
Please continue to monitor local media and/or national weather service outlets for the latest information on this storm and how it may impact you.
Press Release………………
All Gulf District Schools will be closed Thursday!… due to impending threat from the tropical weather system bearing down on northern Gulf Coast.
The safety and well-being of students has always been the top priority of Gulf District Schools. Governor Scott has declared a state of emergency for nine counties including Gulf. Gulf County has been placed under a Tropical Storm Warning. Portions of coastal Gulf County are under a Hurricane Watch. There are three tall bridges within the county which will be closed to high-profile vehicles such as school buses when winds reach tropical storm force. Taking these factors into consideration and after extensive consultation with state and local emergency management officials, the District has made the decision to close all Gulf District schools, Thursday, September 1st and Friday, September 2nd. School closures assure the continued safety of students and staff and affords families the opportunity to address storm preparedness issues.
Again, school closures are scheduled for Thursday and Friday
Anyone with questions and concerns is asked to contact the schools or district office at 229-8256.
Thank you
Jim Norton
Superintendent
