Only nine of 38 schools are good enough to allow students back into class as of Wednesday, said Superintendent Rick Stout.
The school district already spent $5 million cleaning and putting temporary roofs into place.
Ten of the 38 school buildings sustained major damage, mostly due to roof damage and heavy rains.
The school district is heavily relying on help from insurance, Onslow County Commissioners, the state of North Carolina and the federal government.
They plan on setting a back-to-school date later this week.
