Hillsborough County students will be out of school for at least another day.

Citing ongoing power outages at about 100 locations, district officials announced they will not resume classes on Tuesday. They said they hope to reopen on Wednesday.

“Power is the biggest problem now,” said spokeswoman Tanya Arja, adding that the decision could change Wednesday if too many schools continue to go without power.

Other factors complicating the district’s reopening include standing water at about a dozen schools, late deliveries of cafeteria food and road hazards and traffic signal failures in several communities.

The school board also canceled its meeting scheduled for Tuesday.

In preparation for their return, several students and parents went to their campuses Monday morning to help clear the debris. All emergency shelters operating in schools were closed over the weekend.

Arja said it is too early to know how all missed days will be made up so that students meet their state-mandated instructional time per semester and also receive enough instruction to qualify for credits in Advanced Placement and similar courses.

“First we have to see how much time we have left,” she said.

Just minutes after the district’s announcement, families began reacting on social media. The most widespread reaction was frustration with the daily updates, which some said made it difficult for them to plan.

Several pointed out that they are also dealing with crises at home and suggested that the district should simply wait until next week to reopen.

“Give families time to get back to normal and have a fresh start next Monday,” wrote Tiffany Avila, who works at Summerfield Elementary in hard-hit Riverview, echoing many other comments on Facebook.
