Maury County Public Schools will remain closed Monday as cleanup continues following Wednesday's tornado, which damaged more than 100 structures, destroyed 40 homes and resulted in one fatality.

MCPS officially made the announcement Friday afternoon, and while all classes will be canceled, other school-related events will occur.
