After spending the afternoon Sunday checking local road conditions, Habersham County School administrators canceled Monday’s classes.
“There are numerous roads still covered in ice and snow,” says Superintendent of Schools Matthew Cooper.
With temperatures expected to fall into the 20s overnight, slush and wet areas will refreeze, causing potentially hazardous driving conditions early Monday.
Cooper encourages parents to make plans now for the remainder of this week as continued poor road conditions could impact more than Monday’s school schedule.
“We will check conditions again tomorrow afternoon, and we will have school only when conditions are safe for student drivers and buses,” Cooper says.
The Habersham County Board of Education meeting set for Monday has been rescheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 6 p.m.
