Nearly 1 Million Students in 3 States to Miss Class as Hurricane Florence Bears Down on the Carolina Coast

Dozens of schools across three states have announced closures in anticipation of Hurricane Florence, a monster Category 3 hurricane expected to make landfall Thursday evening, canceling class for nearly a million students.

Schools in at least 41 districts or counties in Virginia and the Carolinas have canceled class for hundreds of thousands of students because of evacuations, the need to allow schools to be used as shelters for those fleeing the storm, and to free up roads and buses for evacuees to use.
