Read on for more details:
School closings in Maryland for Wednesday, Jan. 8:
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) in Maryland will be closed again Wednesday. MCPS offices also will be closed, and all activities, programs and sports on school grounds will be canceled. Emergency personnel should report on time. School officials said persistently cold temperatures and vehicles left in school parking lots are making it difficult for crews to clear snow and ice. MCPS urged people who left their vehicles in parking lots to move them immediately.
“The county continues its efforts to remove snow and ice from public roads, sidewalks, and other critical areas to ensure safe access for everyone. These efforts are essential to address hazards, making sure that our educators and staff can safely reach schools, in order to reopen and allow students to return to school,” MCPS said.
