More schools across the country are experimenting with eLearning as a way to keep children learning, even when the building closes for inclement weather.
From fires and mudslides on the West Coast to winter storms and hurricanes on the East Coast, many schools have lost valuable days of classes, putting students behind.
For some students in North Carolina, schools were closed for weeks due to impassable roads and lingering damage in school buildings following Hurricane Florence.
School districts decide how they utilize canceled school days due to bad weather, and more are opting for online learning.
