In an abundance of caution, and in accordance with the guidance from the State of Florida, Okaloosa County Schools will be closed the week of March 16th, which is our Spring Break week, and the Week of March 23rd.

This includes the cancellation of all activities and events both in and out of county through the next two weeks.

“We will provide updates through call out and our website on a regular basis”, said Okaloosa Superintendent of Schools Marcus Chambers. “The Health and Safety of our Students and Staff is our TOP Priority.”
