"Now is the time to shift our focus from the necessary obsession over safety and security to the normalcy of teaching and learning," the superintendent said.

Alberto caused flooding across much of the Southeast before making its way north, and a new weather system is bringing even more rain and flooding.

Thousands of people have evacuated in anticipation.

"Do not discount the hazards of Alberto just because it is not a hurricane."

"It is critically important that all Florida counties have every available resource to keep families safe and prepare for the torrential rain and severe flooding this storm will bring."
