Metro-east schools face a second day of closures and e-learning. Here’s the list
Gusty winds are making road clearing a challenge and wind chills are dipping into the single digits, meaning some metro-east school districts are closing or planning remote learning for the second day in a row.
A winter storm blew through the St. Louis region Saturday night through early Monday morning, dropping a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain up to 11 inches deep in some areas. Some districts — including Belleville 201, Belleville 118, Columbia 4, Harmony-Emge-Ellis District 175, O’Fallon 90 schools and Whiteside 115 — already had teacher institute days, with no students in attendance, scheduled for Monday.
It was the weather, however, that extended the holiday break an extra day for most other schools in the southern half of Illinois.
The following K-12 school districts and private schools in Bond, Clinton, Madison, Monroe, Randolph, St. Clair and Washington counties are closed again on Tuesday or opting for an electronic-learning or “e-learning” day.
School administrators may report closings by emailing newsroom@bnd.com.
