The Sussex-Wantage Regional Schools in New Jersey stated on Monday, January 8, that their opening will be 90 minutes later than scheduled. This choice was made in response to substantial snowfall that caused operational difficulties over the weekend. The National Weather Service and local weather watchers recorded an astounding 12 to 13 inches of snow near Wantage, the core of the snowfall.
Emergency procedures implemented
In response to the severe weather, the school system has instituted emergency snow bus stops for both morning and afternoon routes. The fact that morning care services won't be available just serves to highlight how serious the issue is.
Other educational institutions adopt similar practices.
It's not only the Sussex-Wantage Regional Schools that have had to change their timetables because of the snow. In response to the aftermath of the snowfall, several school districts in the area are also modifying their schedules and choosing to open later than usual.
