Broward County Public Schools resumed normal operations Monday, after days of historic flooding from severe storms led to their closure.

All school campuses and administrative offices were open and operating on a normal schedule, officials said.

BCPS had closed Thursday and remained closed Friday due to flooding and shut down all school campuses and district offices and canceled all after-school activities, field trips, events and extracurricular activities.

Officials said Friday that at least 20 schools suffered flooding damage, and estimated there was at least $2 million in damages, though that figure was expected to rise.

Preliminary figures from the National Weather Service in Miami showed 25.91 inches of rain fell at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Wednesday, shattering the old record of 14.59 inches set in 1979.
