JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Pending approval by President Joe Biden, 31 counties and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians could soon qualify for millions in federal disaster relief funding.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency has submitted its request for a major disaster declaration for the winter weather event that occurred Feb. 11-19.
The storm wreaked havoc across the state, causing dangerous road conditions, widespread power outages, and damage to numerous municipal water systems.
ELKTON â On Feb. 22, Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS) will begin having in-person instruction two days a week. Wednesdays will remain entirely virtual, with students attending on Mondays and Tuesdays or Thursdays and Fridays.
Students who were part of the first 5% return group will remain in class for four days a week. Completely virtual education will remain an option for families who wish to stay at home.
Individual schools will distribute information about when specific students will attend class.
When making the decision, the district took into account community spread, students and staff reporting positive cases, and the Cecil County Health Department, who approved of the expansion of face-to-face learning, according to CCPS Public Information Officer Kelly Keeton.
