TALLAHASSEE

A second North Florida school district will be closed through the end of this week because of the worsening spread of COVID-19.

Gulf County schools Superintendent Jim Norton announced Tuesday that the district would close schools Wednesday through Friday.

“We recognize that face-to-face instruction is the most effective educational model. However, COVID numbers are currently on the climb and having an impact on students, teachers, and on the support staff on whom we rely so heavily —- particularly our food service workers and bus drivers,” Norton wrote on the district’s Facebook page.

Norton said Gulf County schools will reopen on Tuesday, after Labor Day, and all schools and buses will be cleaned and sanitized in the meantime.
