Flagstaff Schools Close Due to Impending Winter Storm
As a significant winter storm approaches, the Flagstaff Unified School District (FUSD) has preemptively decided to cancel classes on Wednesday, February 18. The anticipated weather conditions are expected to affect a large portion of northern Arizona, prompting precautionary measures.
In a statement, Madison Pompeo, the Director of Communications and Public Relations for FUSD, explained, “Decisions to delay school or cancel school are based on a number of factors that include weather forecasts, road conditions and closures, access to FUSD parking areas and sites, transportation, impact on instruction and scheduled activities, and timelines for mobilizing communication.”
With the closure of the schools, all before and after school programs, along with food services, will also be suspended for the day. Charter schools in the area typically align with the district’s decisions, and this instance is no exception.
Several charter schools, including the Montessori School of Flagstaff, Flagstaff Junior Academy, Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy, and Northland Preparatory Academy, have announced their closure for Wednesday as well.
