Douglas County Closes Schools Tuesday and Wednesday

From the Douglas County School System:

All Douglas County Schools will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 22nd and 23rd. The closings are necessary due to road conditions including bridges and roads that are not usable and storm damage to water mains that prevents the water system from being able to maintain pressure and deliver water to schools and homes. A public health issue arises when schools are unable to flush toilets due to lack of water pressure and a boil water advisory prevents appropriate hand washing at sinks and makes food service preparation difficult.

A decision regarding potential additional closings will be made Wednesday after consultation with Public Safety and Water Authority Officials.

Make up dates will be determined at a later time.
