Clarkdale Elementary School was inundated with floodwaters Monday afternoon after students were safely evacuated. On Tuesday afternoon, the main school building remained substantially under water.

The contingency plan for Clarkdale involves creating space at nearby Austell Intermediate and Compton Elementary schools. Austell Intermediate School will host 225 students in grades 3-5, while Compton Elementary School will host 217 students in grades K-2. Furniture and materials from the district’s warehouse will be installed in available classrooms on Wednesday. Some Clarkdale classes will be combined in order to maximize available space. Above is a photo of Clarkdale Elementary taken Tuesday afternoon.
