Montgomery County Public Schools Make Weather Decision

Public schools in Montgomery County will be delayed two hours on Wednesday, Jan. 7, according to Montgomery County Public Schools.

Buses will operate on a schedule that is two hours later than usual.

Morning prekindergarten, morning half-day Head Start, other morning half-day programs and field trips are canceled. Other activities and programs that begin at 10:30 a.m. or earlier are canceled.

Administrative offices are open on time. Child-care programs in school buildings will remain open as scheduled.

The delay came after schools were closed Tuesday due to snow.

Tuesday’s snowfall left many surfaces icy Wednesday morning, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority. Be extra careful while walking to and from vehicles and driving on the morning commute, the authority advised.
