by Malcolm Butler

Cedar Creek School has announced its decision to close school on Friday in anticipation of possible winter weather and/or slick road conditions in the morning as overnight temperatures could reach freezing.

Lincoln Parish School superintendent Ricky Durrett said that all parish public schools will move to a virtual day of learning, but that in-person classes have been canceled.

“We’ve been keeping a close watch on the weather, and for everyone’s safety, we’ve decided to close schools on Friday, January 10,” said a statement from the Lincoln Parish School District. “Instead of an in-person day, students will have virtual learning from home. We plan to reopen on Monday, January 13, and look forward to seeing everyone back then. In the meantime, stay safe, stay warm, and thank you for your understanding!”

The schools will resume classes on Monday at the normal time.

Louisiana Tech announced Wednesday that all classes were canceled for today and tomorrow while Grambling State put all classes on-line.
