With Hurricane Matthew inching closer to Florida, the Miami-Dade school district announced Wednesday morning that schools will be closed on Thursday and Friday.
Middle school students will also be released early Wednesday, at 3 p.m. instead of 3:40 p.m., but elementary and high school students will still get out of class at the usual time. Wednesday is an early dismissal day in Miami-Dade, meaning that elementary school students finish class at 1:50 p.m. and high school students finish at 2:30 p.m.
“By 3 p.m., all students and all teachers should be on their way home,” Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said Wednesday morning, speaking from Miami-Dade County’s Emergency Operations Center.
