Gulf District Schools to close March 31
Gulf District Schools will be closed tomorrow, March 31, due to the threat of inclement weather.
“All Gulf County Schools will be closed tomorrow, March 31 due to inclement weather,” wrote Superintendent Jim Norton in a press release. “As always, the safety of our students and staff is our first priority. It is simply too hazardous for our buses to cross over bridges during heavy rains and high winds. Again, all schools will be closed tomorrow, March 31. Schools will reopen Friday.”
