SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. — On Monday, traditional public schools in north Sarasota County will reopen for the first time since Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida. Traditional public schools in south Sarasota County, including Englewood and North Port, are scheduled to reopen on October 17. The school district is reopening in phases because damage from the storm is much worse in certain areas. “We’ve had facility management and maintenance teams in our facilities since Friday, September 30, assessing, cleaning and repairing damages,” said Dr. Brennan Asplen, Superintendent of Sarasota County Schools. The school district is anticipating many bus routes could experience delays both to and from school.
