Acadiana is bracing itself for potentially some strong storms that are heading this way and a handful of school parishes have announced early dismissal for Tuesday.
With heavy winds and rains rolling into Acadiana this afternoon, we are starting to hear of some school systems shutting down early and sending students home.
As Hurricane Ida approaches Louisiana, many schools across the state are announcing closures. Ida is expected to make landfall as a major hurricane on Sunday, August 29th.
The severe weather has been barreling through much of south Louisiana since early this morning, and as a result, one school district has already decided to keep students home today.
UPDATE - As the inclement winter weather continues to cause issues across Acadiana and Louisiana, school closure information has begun coming in for 02/18 and 02/19.
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette will be moving to remote classes starting at noon on Thursday, October 8. All classes on Friday, October 9th have been canceled ahead of Hurricane Delta.
With two possible hurricanes gunning towards Louisiana in the next few days, we will do our best to keep you updated on all the school closures in our area.
