UNION COUNTY, N.C. — Union County Public Schools announced Wednesday that the district will switch to full remote learning on Thursday over concerns of flooding due to Tropical Storm Sally.
The district posted on its Twitter that schools will move to full remote learning for the day “due to the potential for flooding and dangerous road conditions.”
