Leon County Schools have announced a delayed start for Wednesday, March 5, 2025, due to forecasts of severe storms expected to sweep through the area. This decision comes as weather experts warn of significant rain and potential thunderstorms that could impact student safety during morning commute hours. The official statement from the district confirmed that all schools will open two hours later than usual, allowing for better travel conditions as the storm passes. Superintendent Rocky Hanna stated, “The safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and we believe this delay will help ensure that everyone arrives to school safely.” Parents are advised to monitor local news outlets for updates and to ensure that their children are prepared for the day, especially as some weather patterns may change. Local meteorologists are predicting that the storms may bring heavy winds and rainfall which could lead to hazardous travel across the region. Schools will resume regular operations following the late start, and all scheduled activities, including after-school programs, will proceed as planned unless indicated otherwise by the school administration. This proactive measure is part of the schools’ ongoing commitment to the safety of their students amidst unpredictable weather patterns. District officials encourage everyone to heed weather advisories and adjust their schedules accordingly.
