Triangle school closings & delays: What Wake, JoCo, Chapel Hill will do Tuesday

Triangle universities and school districts are beginning to announce their plans for Tuesday following the weekend snowstorm.

The weekend storm brought enough snow to the Triangle to cause schools and universities to close on Monday or switch to online classes or remote learning. The National Weather Service is warning that remaining snow, water and slush will freeze solid through Tuesday morning and make travel conditions hazardous.

Some school districts have used up — or are close to — using up the five days of remote learning allowed under state law for emergencies.
