Because I was very much looking forward to finally having the opportunity to be the person to take RTY to school.

Orange County schools closed on Friday

Due to worse weather conditions than earlier on Thursday, Orange County Public Schools decided to close schools on Friday, August 22. Those conditions include excessive storm water standing on roadways Thursday night, the uncertainty of safe road travel in the early morning and numerous patches of power outages around the county including several schools.

The decision was made in the best interest of safety after review of weather advisories, reports from school sites and assessments of road conditions by district staff and other authorities including Orange County Public Works.

12-month employees of OCPS are expected to report to work on Friday.

The lost school day will be made up Friday, October 24, 2008.
