U-46 shut down for second day
Elgin Area School District U-46 will close its 56 buildings for a second day Thursday to allow maintenance and road crews more time to clean up.
Although the snow has stopped, “We need an additional day to get school lots cleared, transportation lots cleared and let the road crews get out there to clear streets and sidewalks,” said Tony Sanders, the district’s spokesman.
The last time the district canceled school two days straight was due to extremely cold temperatures about two years ago, Sanders said. The district did not have any weather-related school closings last year, he said.
