Richmond, Va. — Several school districts in Central Virginia have announced delays for Thursday, February 6, in response to forecasted wintry conditions. With freezing rain expected overnight, the morning commute could be hazardous, especially in the northern parts of the region.
To ensure the safety of students and staff, the following school districts have opted for a two-hour delayed opening on Thursday:
- Louisa County Public Schools
- Fluvanna County Public Schools
- Orange County Public Schools
Officials in these areas are closely monitoring weather conditions, with icy roads anticipated to create dangerous driving conditions early in the morning. The delays are a precautionary measure to give road crews more time to treat roads and reduce the risk of accidents.
The list of delayed openings may continue to evolve as further updates are received from local authorities. Parents and students are advised to stay informed by checking for additional school closure or delay announcements.
As the region braces for a wintery start to the day, local school officials are urging the public to use caution when traveling.
