Triangle school districts will operate on a delayed opening due to Wednesday night’s wintry mix of sleet and snow.
Wake County, Durham Public Schools, Johnston County, Orange County, Chatham County and Chapel Hill-Carrboro school systems announced they’ll open Thursday on a two-hour delay. It’s the latest weather-related school interruption to hit students over the past two weeks due to successive winter storms.
“We value every moment of teaching and learning, and we want everyone to arrive at school safely!” Orange County said in its announcement. “A two-hour delay will allow our OCS Transportation and Operations teams time to evaluate roads and campuses for safety during the daylight hours.”
School districts warned that if conditions are worse than expected they may have to take further action such as a longer delay or closing school. Parents are being told they’ll be notified of any last-minute changes by 6 a.m. Thursday.
Wake County cited the continued threat of black ice for the delayed opening.
