Brevard Public Schools will keep all of its schools and district offices closed on Tuesday, Nov. 3, a second straight day off for students. The district says on its website that the decision was made "out of an abundance of caution and due to extensive flooding across the county." The closure was first reported by WFTV, which reports that district crews are inspecting campuses as conditions allow and that schools are expected to reopen Wednesday, Nov. 4.
The flooding is worst in southern Brevard. In a Flood Warning issued at 3:36 p.m. Monday, the National Weather Service in Melbourne said 16 to 22 inches of rain had fallen in southeastern Brevard and northeastern Indian River County, including Palm Bay, Melbourne, West Melbourne and Malabar, with flooding already occurring. A Flood Watch for the area runs until 10 a.m. Tuesday. Schools were also closed Monday; see our Monday closure story and Flash Flood Emergency coverage.
Tuesday is also Election Day. The district's closure notice does not address voting, so voters should check polling place information with the Brevard County Supervisor of Elections.
