During preparation and response to Category 4 Hurricane Ian, the Florida Department of Education closed down most of its 75 school districts. Cassie Palelis, a department press secretary, said the closures were necessary"to allow families time to prepare and open as shelters for the community." Sixteen districts were closed Sept. 27; 52 districts were closed Sept. 28, the day the hurricane began to hit the state; and 58 were closed on Sept. 29, Palelis said.
"The department will continue working with superintendents in Southwest Florida to help facilitate recovery efforts and ensure students can safely return to the classroom as quickly as possible," she said.The video is 3 years old, and shows the effects of a flooded school hallway from Tropical Storm Imelda in Texas, not Hurricane Ian in Florida.This claim is False.
