Prince William County Public Schools says it is closely monitoring the forecast for this weekend as a major winter storm threatens the region. Any decisions on delays or closures will be based on guidance from emergency management, meteorologists, and state highway officials, along with inspections of roads, sidewalks, parking lots, and bus lanes across the county.
School officials say they try to make weather-related decisions as early as possible to give families time to plan. In most cases, a decision is made the night before, or by no later than 4:30 a.m. on the morning of a closure if conditions remain uncertain. Once a decision is made, notifications will be shared quickly through multiple communication channels.
