Florida school districts that were forced to close due to Hurricane Ian will reopen no later than October 18, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced on Thursday.
Recovery from Hurricane Ian is continuing in DeSantis’s Florida, as the governor announced that all school districts will reopen this week, less than a month after the Category 4 storm battered the Sunshine State’s west coast.
“We fixed the bridge in Pine Island and Sanibel,” DeSantis said, walking through some of the rapid turnarounds they have seen in the west coast of the state. Access to Pine Island was established in mere days, and the Sanibel Causeway was restored this week and will be open to civilian use October 21.
