Jefferson County Schools to Resume Classes with Delay on Monday
January 13, 2025 - 10:52
Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) will be reopening for in-person classes on Monday, albeit with a two-hour delay. The decision comes after a week-long closure prompted by severe winter storms that affected the area.
Officials have been monitoring weather conditions closely and have determined that a delayed start is the best course of action to ensure the safety of students and staff. During the closure, school administrators have worked diligently to assess the impact of the storms on school facilities and transportation routes.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to prepare for the adjusted schedule and to keep an eye on any further updates from the school district. The two-hour delay will provide additional time for road conditions to improve and for school personnel to ensure that all facilities are ready for students' return.
As the community looks forward to welcoming students back, safety remains the top priority for the district.
