All Broward County Public Schools are open Wednesday, Nov. 4, the district said, but weather and localized flooding in parts of the county may cause delays, including school bus delays.

The district posted the update on X, asking families to use caution when traveling to and from school. Student absences and tardies for the day will be excused. Officials said families should make whatever decision is safest for their child.

Broward County Public Schools said it is monitoring conditions with local emergency management officials and will share updates as needed.

At least one private school in Broward has taken a different approach. American Heritage in Plantation will stay closed Wednesday, and students in fourth through 12th grades will take their classes remotely online, the school said.
