All UCF schools and offices will dismiss early today, Monday, May 16, according to an email from Superintendent of Schools John Sanville. The forecast is showing a severe storm — including hail, potential tornadoes, and 60 mph winds — hitting our area this afternoon. So, we’re going to err on the side of caution. It is always difficult to make a school closing decision based on a forecast alone, however with the timing of the storm, if we were to wait we could potentially send our students and bus drivers out in the worst of conditions, Sanville said.
Middle and high school students will be dismissed at 12:30 p.m.; elementary schools will let out at 1:30. All afterschool activities have been canceled.
He added in the email that tonight's school board meeting will be virtual only because of the forecast.
The Kennett school district has also announced early dismissals.
