In other updates, the Lee County school district will close its schools through next week because of the damage left behind by Ian. “Based on our most recent assessments of schools, as well as no power or water, we have made the decision to close all schools and district offices next week,” the school district said. “Please know as we work with our partners in the Emergency Operations Center, reopening our schools is one of the top priorities.” On Friday, the U.S. Coast Guard organized a ferry operation to help Sanibel residents evacuate from the island to the mainland. The boat departed from Sanibel Boat Ramp, near the Causeway, approximately every 90 minutes to two hours carrying 30-40 passengers each trip to Port Comfort, also known as Port Sanibel Marina. Residents were transported by bus and transported to Lee County shelters. Donations accepted The United Way and the Collaboratory have created an easy-to-use portal for donations.
