'Day-to-day basis': Hillsborough announces school closures Tuesday
TAMPA, Fla. - Hillsborough County Public Schools has announced that it will remain closed on Tuesday, Oct. 14, as it continues to recover from Hurricane Milton's devastating impacts on the region.
The county says they decided to keep schools closed based on multiple factors, including power being out in around 100 county schools, over a dozen schools still having standing water, and food deliveries for breakfast and lunch services suffering from delays.
The county says it operates on a day-to-day basis following the hurricane but that its goal is to reopen schools as soon as conditions allow.
