BCPS Makes Weather Call For Wednesday, Feb. 13

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Baltimore County Public Schools decided to open on time Wednesday, Feb. 13, with one exception. Schools in the Hereford Zone will open two hours late.

Morning prekindergarten is canceled in the Hereford Zone, officials said.

Schools in the Hereford Zone include Fifth District Elementary, Hereford High, Hereford Middle, Jacksonville Elementary, Prettyboy Elementary, Seventh District Elementary and Sparks Elementary.

The Hereford Zone was created for the county's northernmost schools because those areas of the county tend to experience "unique weather conditions," according to Baltimore County Public Schools.

Wednesday's decision to delay opening in the Hereford Zone comes after schools were closed Monday and Tuesday in Baltimore County Public Schools.

The McDonogh School will also open two hours late on Wednesday, Feb. 13.
