Snow was falling across much of the Denver metro area on Friday morning but the driving conditions are safe enough for school to go on. It’s a different story in a section of southern Colorado where the winter storm is making a little bit more of an impact. Many delays and some closures are being reported in and around Colorado Springs.
Colorado Springs School District 11 and Elbert School District 200 were two of the districts that are on a 2-hour delay Friday morning. Other districts reporting delays were Cheyenne Mountain School District, Academy School District 20 and District 49, which includes schools in the Falcon area of El Paso County as well as part of northeastern Colorado Springs.
District 49 posted a message on its website stating “Due to overnight snow and observed slick conditions, D49 will delay by two hours Friday, January 26. D49 is continuing the scheduled professional development day (no students), but will delay scheduled activities by two hours Friday, January 26.”
