Wichita Public Schools, USD-259, has canceled classes for a third day in a row due to winter weather conditions.
All non-attendance centers will be open, and most employees will be expected to return to work (AMAC, SSC, IST, Dunbar and ISC).
In an email district officials cited several factors in making the decision that create a dangerous situation for students.
· Snow and ice-packed residential roads
· The concern about the timeliness of our buses and the danger to children who would be impacted by severe delays
· Difficulties clearing snow on our campuses and the ice underneath
Athletic competitions Friday evening and this weekend will continue as scheduled as host schools will have snow cleared by evening activities.
After a weekend of above freezing temperatures, school officials are expecting a normal schedule on Monday.
