Maroa-Forsyth students will have to wait to finish semester finals until after the holiday break thanks to the frigid cold temperatures and ice across the area.
Superintendent Mike Williams says it certainly puts the students in a tough spot for the students. He adds they called off school Monday more as a safety precaution, which will force the last day of finals to after the holiday break.
When deciding whether to cancel school, Williams explains there is a lot that goes into the decision. He notes he will survey rural roads and have discussions with the school leaders in neighboring districts.
Williams indicates the start of the second semester will be pushed back to Monday, January 9.
He also notes the end of the school year calendar likely will not be approved until March, or even April. He says they could see a lot more weather related cancellations between now and then.
