February 9 2024- School districts in Kansas are evaluating the possibility of a snow day as the state anticipates significant winter weather. Districts like USD 393 Solomon and USD 259 Wichita are closely monitoring forecasts and considering various factors, including temperature, road conditions, and building safety. The decision-making process involves a team of individuals, with the priority being the safety of students. Factors such as the distance some students need to travel, especially in rural areas, are taken into consideration due to potential hazards like icy roads and wildlife. The final decision may be delayed until the early morning based on the storm’s timing.
