EASTON, Kan. -- Residents in Easton, Kan., who are used to living with flooding got another drenching Monday night.

Water from Stranger Creek that flooded roads has mostly receded. But schools in the town were closed Tuesday, although the inside of the schools were dry.

The problem was that students and teachers could not make it there.

"We have three major roads leading to all the schools and they were all closed because they were flooded," Chuck Coblentz, superintendent of USD 449 in Easton.

There are no short cuts to the rural school district where all the district's grade-level buildings are centrally located.

"You would have had to go clear to another county. It would take you an hour," Coblentz said.

The town of Easton sits below a hill. Heather Walker said that every time there's a heavy rain she gets nervous.

The superintendent said his district is probably the only school district that has to make up snow days and flooding days. Students are expected to resume attending school Wednesday as long as there isn't another heavy downpour.
