UPDATE D49 Weather Alert: D49 CLOSED - Friday, November 8
Forecasts from local affiliates and the National Weather Service indicate snow and sub-freezing temperatures will last well into Saturday predicting an additional 4 to 7 inches of accumulation across our area before winding down. In combination with significant snowfall throughout the day and multiple observed conditions Thursday, we will not be able to overcome multiple challenges to operate safely Friday. Therefore, the district will close Friday, November 8. The closure includes BASE 49.
Please watch for additional information from your schools about postponing or resetting activities scheduled for Friday.
Our crews will manage the significant task of snow and ice removal in stages, working through the weekend if necessary, to prepare for a normal schedule on Monday. As always, our first priority is the safety of students and staff all over the district.
We thank you for your trust and understanding. We look forward to getting back to school Monday. We hope you stay safe and warm this weekend!
