Students in the Carbon County School District had their three-day weekend turned into a four-day weekend when classes were canceled Friday because of snow, ice and road conditions.
In an email, Superintended Lance Hatch said he considered delaying the start of school Friday by two hours, but decided conditions warranted the closure.
“Making up a Snow Day is not pleasant for anyone and causes many different levels of inconvenience,” he wrote. “However, that problem is small weighed against the safety of students, staff, and parents who would be forced to navigate treacherous roads to continue with school as usual.
