Yucatán Suspends Classes Due to Extraordinary Rains

Yucatán has suspended academic activities for Monday, June 1, in the afternoon session, and for the entirety of Tuesday, June 2, across all educational levels. The decision by the Secretariat of Education of the Government of the State of Yucatán (Segey) comes in response to extraordinary rainfall over recent days, which has caused significant flooding in Mérida and other municipalities.

The suspension on Monday is limited to the afternoon shift. However, on Tuesday, both morning and afternoon sessions will be canceled for all public and private schools throughout Yucatán. This measure aims to protect the safety and well-being of students, faculty, administrative staff, and their families amidst the prevailing weather conditions.

Segey is advising parents, guardians, teachers, and students to remain attentive to official communications for the remainder of the week. For their safety, the public is recommended to avoid non-essential travel, follow the guidance of Civil Protection authorities, and report any situations posing a risk to the relevant authorities.
