Fayette County Public Schools students will spend Wednesday at home and out of class, marking the district's seventh snow day of the year.

A decision about Wednesday afternoon and evening activities will be announced by noon, the district reports.

Students in the district, like many, have not been in the classroom since January 23; FCPS has used four NTI days in addition to the seven snow days.

Original Story:

Fayette County Public Schools says they will announce by 5 a.m. on Wednesday whether classes will be held as winter weather continues to impact the district.

All Tuesday afternoon and evening activities have been canceled due to ongoing weather and road conditions, according to district officials.

The district has already used 10 weather-related closure days this school year, including four nontraditional instruction days in late January and six traditional snow days. The most recent closures occurred Jan. 30, Feb. 2, and Feb. 3.

District officials say that only March 20 has been confirmed as a make-up day for students so far this academic year.
