Given the floods affecting rivers, the prefect of Gard, in consultation with the departmental director of national education services, has decided to suspend school transport this Friday, October 18 over a large northern half of the department. All school transport passing through one of the affected zones is canceled (even if they are going to or coming from an authorized zone). The prefecture invites parents to keep their children at home if possible. For boarding students, parents are asked not to pick them up until tomorrow. The schools will contact the parents of the boarders tomorrow to ensure their return home.
