“Due to expected increased traffic volume because of weather related changes to Bonnaroo entry, Manchester City Schools will be closed Wednesday, September 1,” said Dr. Joey Vaughn. ” Students will return on September 7. There will be no extended care. “
City schools were already supposed to be closed Sept. 2 and 3 due to Bonnaroo and Sept. 6 due to Labor Day. Heavy rains from remnants of Hurricane Ida forced Bonnaroo to close entry to festival grounds, on Tuesday, increasing confidence for heavier traffic on Wednesday.
