Two central Alabama school systems will be closing a school and delaying start times at others after weekend storms.
In Vestavia Hills, Vestavia Hills Elementary West will be closed due to flooding and ongoing cleanup efforts.
Vestavia Hills High School Freshman Campus will be on a 2 hour delay due to a power outage.
More than a dozen Tuscaloosa County schools will operate on a two-hour delay Monday (May 19).
All Tuscaloosa schools in the Northside and Tuscaloosa County High School attendance zones will be delayed due to ongoing storm clean up and to give buses more time to travel in these areas, the system said in a statement.
Storms rolled through Tuscaloosa Sunday morning, knocking down trees and power lines.
Bus pickup times will be delayed by two hours and some routes may take even longer due to low hanging limbs or power lines.
“If you live in the Northside or Tuscaloosa County High Attendance Zones and roads that you travel to school are closed, or you feel they are unsafe, your student’s absence will be excused for Monday, May 19,” the statement said.
Schools covered by the two-hour delay include:
Northside High
Northside Middle
Walker Elementary
Tuscaloosa County High
Echols Middle
Collins-Riverside Intermediate
Northport Intermediate
Huntington Place Elementary
Flatwoods Elementary
Northport Elementary
Crestmont Elementary
Faucett-Vestavia Elementary
Matthews Elementary
