STAFFORD, Va. — Out of concerns for possible black ice on roadways Friday morning, Stafford County Public Schools will open two hours late.
More in a press release from schools spokeswoman Valerie Cottongim:
Stafford County Schools will open two hours late on Friday, March 8, 2013. There is a concern regarding black ice on the roads in the morning and below freezing temperatures early.
This delay will allow our inclement weather team to evaluate road conditions and will provide daylight for our bus drivers, employees and students to better see the roadways.
There will be no a.m. preschool classes and no change to the p.m. preschool classes. Breakfast programs are canceled, lunch will be served, and dismissal will be at the regular times. Buses will pick up two hours after their regularly scheduled time.
Stafford picked up 7.1 inches of snow during Wednesday’s winter storm, the National Weather Service reported. Schools have been closed in the county for the past two days.
