With temperatures expected to climb from a low of -20 F to a high of only -6 F, students could risk frostbite or other cold-weather plagues, especially if snowy roads or equipment failures delay school buses.
Some districts plan to post on their websites Sunday night, Jan. 5, about whether school will be in session Monday. Parents are advised to check.
