Extended Winter Break Continues for Most North Central Florida Students
Students across much of North Central Florida are getting an extra day of winter break as school districts announce closures for Monday, January 5th.
According to officials, eight counties will extend the holiday break, with students in Alachua, Bradford, Clay, Columbia, Gilchrist, Marion, Putnam, and Union counties staying home on Monday. Most districts will resume classes on Tuesday morning.
The extended break varies by county, with Gilchrist County students receiving the longest extension - they won’t return to classrooms until Wednesday.
However, not all counties are participating in the extended break. Students in Dixie and Suwannee counties will be back in class on Monday as originally scheduled.
The decision affects thousands of students across the region, giving families an additional day to enjoy the holiday season before the routine of school resumes.
Parents are advised to check with their individual school districts for specific details about Tuesday’s return, including any potential schedule changes or important announcements following the extended break.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available about the reasoning behind the extended closures and any additional schedule modifications.
