Paulding Schools Closed Again Tuesday

DALLAS, GA — Paulding County Schools will be closed for students again Tuesday due to lingering icy conditions.

Staff should report at 10 a.m., the school system said in an online post.

"While many of the main roadways are clear of ice, many secondary and subdivision streets remain icy and dangerous for travel," the post said. "As temperatures are forecasted to dip below freezing again tonight, we anticipate those surfaces to refreeze, making it dangerous for our school buses and young, inexperienced drivers."

According to the National Weather Service, low temperatures in Dallas were expected to drop to 28 degrees Monday night.

As the sheriff's office noted in a post Tuesday afternoon, there are more than 850 miles of "back roads" and subdivision streets in Paulding County.
