Weather Update #1: Winter Storm Enzo - Schools and Offices Closed on Wednesday, January 22nd. Clay County is under a Winter Storm Warning, and after consulting with Emergency Management and reviewing the latest storm projections, we have determined that the timing of the storm’s impact in the morning will make it unsafe to transport students to school and for employees to commute to work. As a result, all Clay County District Schools and offices will be closed on Wednesday, January 22nd. We anticipate resuming normal operations on Thursday, January 23rd. Information regarding a make-up day for the missed instructional hours will be shared soon. Please continue to monitor our social media channels for updates. Stay safe, Clay County!
