Hundreds of students were stuck at schools in three counties after rising water kept them from getting home safely on Tuesday.
At Southside Elementary School in Cleveland, about 800 students who couldn’t get home at one point were fed snacks as school officials worked to reunite the children with their parents.
As of Wednesday morning, about 60 students are left at the school, which plans to have the buses take the remaining children home around 7 a.m.
New photos from Cleveland ISD superintendent Chris Trotter show how the district provided for the kids overnight.
The school did not flood.
