As winter weather continues to impact the Carolinas, numerous school districts have announced cancellations and delays for February 20, 2025. North Carolina’s Department of Transportation warns of hazardous driving conditions due to potential icy roads and snow accumulations. Consequently, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools have opted for a 2-hour delay for students on Tuesday. Other affected districts include Gaston County, which has canceled all classes and activities for the day, while Union County and Iredell-Statesville schools are also running on a delay. The National Weather Service projected rain turning into snow, with accumulations of 1 to 3 inches expected in some areas. “We are closely monitoring conditions and prioritizing the safety of our students and staff,” stated Susan DeVaughn, the spokesperson for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. In South Carolina, districts such as York County have reported similar delays, indicating a cautious approach amid unpredictable weather patterns. State officials are urging residents to prepare for slick roadways and possible disruptions as conditions evolve throughout the day. The winter storm warning remains in effect, and meteorologists suggest keeping an eye on the latest forecasts to stay informed about changing weather conditions. As districts prioritize safety, parents are advised to stay connected with their respective schools for updates.
