SALEM COMMUNITY SCHOOL CORPORATION

WEST WASHINGTON SCHOOL CORPORATION

WWSC will be closed on Wednesday January 8.

After hours of driving, we believe it is in the best interest of safety to cancel. I am sorry for those gearing up to return. We were hopeful to get kids back in, but an extensive look at roads make it unadvisable.

Our county roads are a mixed bag or great condition, fair condition, and poor condition. Our county crews have done a tremendous job and worked a lot of hours to get roads to this point. However, some areas are only one vehicle wide. We encountered oncoming traffic, and when making room it is very easy to be drawn into the ditch. We also had trouble in four wheel drive multiple times.

I have a lot faith in our bus drivers, but on several routes the large vehicle would encounter major issues if they encountered oncoming traffic. For that reason, we will be closed.

This will be another snow day and there will be no virtual classes. There are multiple ways to make up this day and we will make that decision in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed for a two hour delay start on Thursday.
