All schools and offices in the Starkville Oktibbeha School District will be closed on Monday, August 30 as Hurricane Ida is expected to bring strong winds and rain to our area by tomorrow afternoon which could impact our ability to safely dimiss from school and transport children home.
After consulting with emergency officials, the District decided to close to err on the side of safety.
This is a full school closure, including virtual learning, for all schools and campuses.
Please be weather aware as you plan your day tomorrow. Weather conditions are expected to deteriorate throughout the day. There is the potential for power outages, flash flooding and tornadoes.
Stay safe, Yellow Jackets!
