Some D.C.-school systems will reopen Tuesday on a delayed schedule, the first day of classes for many students after the Jan. 25 winter storm that dumped several inches of snow and ice across the region.
Among those opening on a two-hour delay are districts in Arlington, Fairfax and Montgomery counties. D.C. Public Schools, which had been opening on a delay in recent days, plans to open on a normal schedule Tuesday, Mayor Muriel E. Bowser said.
At least one district, Prince George’s County Public Schools, will remain closed for another day.
School districts consider multiple factors, including road conditions, in deciding whether to change their bell schedules. Several have explained that streets and sidewalks remain impassible after the Jan. 25 storm and that piles of snow and ice have created safety hazards for buses.
