Families remain patient, wait for answers

Despite two days of unexpected school closures due to recent threats involving Flathead County schools, for most families in the Flathead, it’s a wait-and-see moment.

The Daily Inter Lake asked our readers on Facebook to sound off about the school shutdown, and the almost unanimous verdict was that we are in this together and we will stand strong and be patient until the authorities determine it’s safe to resume classes and activities as normal.

No decisions have been made whether school will resume or be canceled on Monday, Sept. 18. Pending law enforcement recommendations, administrators plan to contact families no later than 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 17, notifying them if school will be canceled or not.

Athletic and extracurricular activities have been postponed in addition to games and activities that require traveling over the weekend.
