The Charlotte Metro has announced a number of school closures and delays for January 13, 2025, due to wintry weather conditions.
The decision has been made in view of ensuring safety of students and staff. The spokesperson of the closures stated, “Our commitment to the safety and well-being of our students and staff is paramount as we make such decisions.”
The specific schools affected by these closures, as well as the exact timings of any delays, have not been disclosed as of now. Parents and guardians are being encouraged to stay informed about the latest updates, as the situation is subject to change. They can keep themselves updated by visiting the school district websites or via social media channels.
During winter, school closures and delays are not uncommon in the Charlotte Metro area. Depending on the weather forecasts and road conditions, schools often opt for delays or closures as a precautionary measure. It is the school district’s responsibility to decide whether or not their district’s schools will open or close.
Prior to the determination of closures and delays, several factors are taken into consideration by the district’s administration. These include the current and forecasted weather conditions, the safety of bus travel, the condition of school facilities and the potential for major disruptions.
This decision comes as a part of a larger effort across the country, where multiple school districts in different states have also decided to delay or close schools due to winter weather.
