Hurricane Ian is expected to have significant impact on Pasco County and the Tampa Bay area for several days this week. As a result, all Pasco County Schools and all district offices will be closed the rest of the week – Tuesday, September 27, through Friday, September 30. This includes PLACE, ASEP, all after school programs, all athletic events and practices, and all extracurricular events.
The forecast at this time shows the storm affecting Pasco County starting late Tuesday and early Wednesday with significant amounts of rain, storm surge, and dangerous winds. It appears likely that it will be a slow-moving storm, so effects are expected well into Thursday. As a result, we will need to close for the rest of the week, as we expect that flooding and debris could result in some roads being impassable on Friday.
