Public schools and district offices in Polk County will remain closed on Tuesday, Sept. 12. By order of Gov. Rick Scott, all public K-12 schools were closed Friday, Sept. 8, and will be closed on Monday, Sept. 11.
The decision to close schools and offices was made in collaboration with Polk County Emergency Management personnel. District staff are working with emergency personnel while some of our schools are serving as shelters for those directly impacted by Hurricane Irma.

Please be advised that this decision to close is not binding upon charter and private schools. Those schools should be contacted directly for more information.
