THE CAROLINAS — As severe weather threatens the Carolinas, local school districts have begun announcing closures and remote learning plans for Monday.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Cabarrus Schools KIDS: PLUS, Chester County School District, Clover School District, Fort Mill School District, Lakeside Charter Academy, Rock Hill Schools, Rowan-Salisbury Schools and York School District will be closed Monday.
Cabarrus County Schools, Chesterfield County Schools and Union County Public Schools will have remote learning days.
Several school districts across the Carolinas announced closures and schedule changes as a powerful line of storms threatened the region with damaging winds, heavy rain, and possible tornadoes. Local officials made the decision to prioritize student and staff safety as forecasters warned of potentially dangerous weather conditions moving through the area.
Among the districts impacted, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) and several neighboring school systems announced they would close campuses for the day, while other districts opted to move classes online through remote learning to avoid transportation risks during the storm.
School districts that announced closures include Cabarrus Schools KIDS: PLUS, Chester County School District, Clover School District, Fort Mill School District, Lakeside Charter Academy, Rock Hill Schools, Rowan-Salisbury Schools, and York School District.
Meanwhile, Cabarrus County Schools, Chesterfield County Schools, and Union County Public Schools shifted to remote learning days, allowing students to continue classes from home while avoiding potentially hazardous travel conditions.
The decisions came as meteorologists tracked a severe weather system capable of producing damaging wind gusts, intense thunderstorms, and isolated tornadoes across parts of North and South Carolina. Officials urged residents to remain weather-aware and monitor alerts as the storms moved through the region.
Education leaders said the precautionary closures were made out of an abundance of caution to keep students safe while giving families and staff time to prepare for the approaching severe weather.
