Edgecombe Co. schools delayed on Monday due to flooding risk

Edgecombe County Schools will be delayed on Monday.

According to a post on the school system’s Facebook page, schools in the county will operate on a two-hour delay on Monday.

The school said the delay will allow maximum daylight for buses and high school drivers traveling in the early morning.

The delay is in response to severe weather on Sunday, which caused flood warnings and flash flood warnings in various parts of central North Carolina.
