CHARLOTTE, NC — In the aftermath of Hurricane Michael, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will be closed for all students and staff on Friday, Oct. 12.
Our community has been hit hard by high winds, heavy rain, downed trees and power lines from Hurricane Michael. According to Duke Energy officials, 32 schools in neighborhoods across the district and nearly 82,000 residents across our community are without lights, refrigeration, heating and cooling due to power loss.
Duke Energy and CMS crews are working hard to restore power but crews and experts do not expect power to be restored tonight at the 32 affected schools. The full list of CMS schools without power is available on the CMS website.
CMS understands that school closings can be frustrating for everyone as work schedules, child care, transportation and other plans are disrupted. But the most important responsibility we have when it comes to our kids is to keep them safe from harm. Safety always must come first.
The district will update families, students staff and the community as further information is available. Thank you for your support of all CMS schools.
