Hurricane Ian School Closure Notification

Alachua County Public Schools, the University of Florida, and Santa Fe College will be closed Wednesday through Friday due to the threat posed by Hurricane Ian. Bhaktivedanta Academy will also close, starting Wednesday, with a plan to resume school on Monday, October 3 if conditions allow.

Resumption of school will be based on:

• Extent of any damage to buildings/facilities
• Amount of debris clean-up required
• Availability of running water (the New Raman Reti Temple has a generator that powers auxiliary wells)
• Resumption of electrical power
• Availability of teaching staff 

We certainly hope the storm’s impact is minimal for Bhaktivedanta Academy, our families, our staff, and our greater community. We will do our best to keep you all updated as much as possible.

Please be on the lookout for emails, phone calls, or text messages from the school. We wish you all the very best.
