Some Charlotte-area schools will be shuttered Tuesday as storms are expected to roll in and linger above much of western North Carolina.
While students won’t be on campus, some will still be required to log on to learn via virtual programs.
Here’s the latest:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Cabarrus schools
Before 3 p.m. Monday, Cabarrus County Schools announced all schools would be closed and extra-curricular events canceled on Tuesday. There will be no remote learning. By Monday evening, Iredell-Statesville, Mooresville Graded, Lincoln and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools announced the same.
Charlotte Country Day School, Charlotte Latin School and Providence Day also closed.
“The National Weather Service is calling for high wind gusts of 45-55 mph, tornadic activity and heavy, flooding rain which can cause hazardous conditions for bus transportation services and lead to safety concerns for our students and families,” CMS said in a post on Facebook.
York School District One, other NC counties
Across state lines, York School District One announced students will have an e-learning day on Tuesday. Catawba, Anson, Rowan-Salisbury, Alexander and Davie County Schools announced the same.
Officials will share plans for after-school activities and games, Davie County Schools officials said.
“If the weather becomes significant enough to cause lengthy or widespread power outages, we may adjust the e-learning expectation,” said Michelle Shue, Rowan-Salisbury’s director of marketing and communications.
Just after 1 p.m., Union County schools said it was “monitoring weather reports and speaking with local emergency management teams.” Authorities expected to give an update by early Monday evening.
