From Dr. Ricky Catlett, Deputy Superintendent of Operations, Business and Technology – Jackson-Madison County School System –

Due to confirmed reports of significant damage throughout our city and county, all Jackson-Madison County Schools will be closed on Thursday, March 31.

Nine school buildings, including the Central Office, are currently without power. Several roads are also impassable due to downed power lines. Members of our Operations team will continue to access the status of our buildings this (Wednesday) evening.

Families in immediate need are encouraged to contact our Family Support Department via email [email protected] to request assistance.

Residents are asked to stay off the roads as clean up efforts are underway by local emergency personnel. Let’s all stay safe! Contact us via email at [email protected] should you have questions.
