FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. — The Flagler County School District released this statement Saturday:
“Maintenance teams from Flagler Schools are touring all schools and sites today, assessing the damages now that the weather has cleared following Hurricane Matthew. Preliminary checks show some exterior damage at a few sites.

Bunnell Elementary School, Rymfire Elementary School and Buddy Taylor Middle School are still being used as shelters for displaced Flagler County residents.

Superintendent Jacob Oliva has determined because these damage assessments and clean-up operations will take time, as well as the continued need of shelter space for our residents, all schools will remain closed Monday and Tuesday. We are currently developing a timeline for when schools will reopen.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Flagler County as we begin the difficult process of cleaning up. We thank our school community and Flagler County as a whole for their support through the coming days and weeks ahead."
