Is School in Session in Decatur Today?

DeKalb County’s students and teachers will have an extra day off due to the brutal winter conditions expected to persist in the area throughout Tuesday morning.

The school district announced the cancellation just before 10 o’clock Monday night, stating that the threat of icy roads prompted the decision. In addition, all of Tuesday’s after school activities have been cancelled.

The temperature in Decatur is expected to be around 27 degrees at bus pick-up time on Tuesday and is not expected to get above freezing until noon, according to the National Weather Service.

Although teachers and students do not have to report, twelve month staff must report to work by 11 a.m. if conditions allow, the school district said.

Students who attend City Schools of Decatur are out of the classroom until Feb. 23.
