2 hour delay for 2/9. Winter weather advisory and roads are getting covered.
Board of Education Meeting 2/8 @6pm in Room 101
From Mr. Brewster: I apologize for the extra late call but we are going to have to cancel. Two hours ago when I checked the first time these roads were fine but as the temperature has dropped it has gotten much worse. I am on Fairview right now and it is nothing but ice from one end to the other. The easy thing to do would’ve been to have school but I don’t want to get anyone in a wreck. I don’t think a bus could make this turn on Fairview and I’m sure of the roads are just the same. Now Leeth creek is ice on the main part of the road and everything that has any driveway water running onto it is completely ice covered.
Buses will not run
Hackelshin
Upper Leeth Creek, Walls, Giers
Gleason, Rob Beekman
Davis
Owens
McKinney
Sorry for the extra text but I wanted to clarify that Tonya Bus 8 will be running Leeth Creek like normal. Brandis Bus 5 will not run the upper end of Leeth Creek or Walls Road
We are still on a 2 hour delay.
We will not run
Bus 18 Hackelshin
Bus 5 Leeth Creek and Walls
Bus 11 Beekman past Lorie’s
Bus 1 Gleason and Rob Beekman
Bus 14 Davis
Bus 19 Red Bridge and McCoy

If there are any additions I will update this first thing in the morning
We will be operating on a two hour delay for February 3. We are going to try to have school if it all possible. I know there will be some Township Road we will not be able to run. Bus drivers are going to let me know which roads they won’t be running and I will let you know either tonight or first thing in the morning.. if the bus does not run your road you will be excused.
Tonight’s boys game with Symmes Valley has been canceled.
School will be canceled on Tuesday, February 2 due to ice and snow covered roads.
The varsity girls game has been canceled for this evening.
No school for Monday, February 1 due to snow and ice on roadways
We are going to start out tomorrow on a two hour delay. We are still under a level one right now. The big issue is the temperature is forecasted to be 30 or 31 in the morning with snow forecasted all night. Probably won’t amount to much snow but the temperature is the issue. Don’t anticipate any issue after the first thing in the morning but I would rather not find out at 7:15 that we have ice. Thanks
