Iredell-Statesville Schools Announce 3-Hour Delay Due to Icy Conditions

by | Jan 14, 2025

In response to hazardous road conditions caused by lingering ice, Iredell-Statesville Schools will operate on a three-hour delay on Tuesday. The delay aims to ensure the safety of students, staff, and families, particularly in rural areas where roads remain treacherous.

School officials have noted that while urban and main thoroughfares are largely clear, many secondary and rural roads still have significant ice, creating unsafe travel conditions. “The safety of our community is our top priority,” a district spokesperson said.

Staff members are encouraged to consult Inclement Weather Call #6 for further guidance regarding reporting times and expectations during the delay. Families are advised to monitor official district communications for any updates or additional changes to the schedule.

Local authorities remind residents to exercise caution on untreated roads, especially in shaded areas where ice may persist despite rising temperatures.
