Morgan County Schools Face Delays, Closures Monday Due to Winter Weather

Winter weather swept through the WLDS listening area last Monday, forcing school districts across Morgan County to adjust their schedules as hazardous road conditions made normal operations impossible on March 16.

The disruptions ranged in severity depending on the district. Some schools opened with two-hour delays to allow road crews additional time to treat and clear surfaces, while others canceled the school day entirely due to the conditions.

WLDS posted and reported the closure bulletin, serving as the primary information source for families checking on the status of their children's schools that morning.

Late-winter weather events of this kind are a recurring challenge for Morgan County districts, which must weigh transportation safety against lost instructional time as the school calendar moves toward spring.
