PCPS Storm Recovery Update for Sept. 30 | Polk County Public Schools
The following message is from Superintendent Fred Heid regarding our recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian: Dear PCPS families, I want to begin by saying that we truly hope that you and your loved ones are safe following the storm. We are all thankful for the cooler weather over the last couple days. The heat and humidity that typically follow a hurricane can become unbearable. It has been a very long and stressful 72 hours. Cleanup efforts are underway. We all want to return to some sense of normalcy. We are making progress, but there is still much work to be done. Please allow me to share some important updates: School Status for Next Week: Monday (Oct. 3) – Friday (Oct. 7) At this time, I am unable to make a decision whether school operations will resume on Monday, Oct. 3. Many of our schools continue to experience power outages. We have more than 131 PCPS school sites, and there were 77 without power as of yesterday (Sept. 29). We are grateful to the utility workers who are laboring to restore power throughout our community. The outpouring of support from Florida’s utility companies and neighboring states is truly humbling. If you see a utility crew, give them a friendly wave and a thank you. If power is restored today or tomorrow to all school sites, reopening schools on Monday (Oct. 3) may be possible if we can address the following critical areas of operation: Ensuring schools can prepare food safely with necessary refrigeration, sanitation, and water service Completing post-storm cleanup of our campuses Having enough staff available to resume school operations We know that closing schools has a huge impact on the plans and lives of our students and employees, as well as their families. Reopening schools is an essential part of the recovery effort. Having children in school and away from hazardous storm damage is very important. Many of our students rely upon our schools for food and other support. Our schools also serve as a safe and structured environment for our students. We are working to reopen schools as quickly as possible, but we must make sure our campuses can function properly and safely. Please look for regular updates via email, automated phone calls, our website and social media. *Important links* PCPS website: polkschoolsfl.com Facebook: facebook.com/polkcountypublicschools Twitter: twitter.com/polkschoolsnews Instagram: Instagram.com/polkcountypublicschools Storm Shelters I am tremendously proud of the compassion and dedication of our shelter workers who answered the call to serve others. School sites serving as shelters provided refuge to nearly 3,000 people over the course of the last few days. Most of these people have left our shelter sites. On Thursday (Sept. 29), PCPS was able to close all pet-friendly and general population storm shelters. However, special needs shelters for those with medical concerns are still operational at the Bartow Civic Center, Ridge Community High and McKeel Academy. These will likely be consolidated into one location in the near future. Meanwhile, agencies are working around the clock to get these individuals to more permanent lodging. School Facilities Our teams began inspecting schools as soon as the sun came […]
