The following has been released to Q93 from the Rapides Parish School Board:
 

Good Wintry Afternoon!

 

While this weather brings some beautiful sites to see, it is not giving us a lot of hope for safely traveling our streets. 

 

In anticipation of the forecasted precipitation and continued freezing temperatures Rapides Parish Public School buildings and offices will be closed Wednesday, February 17th. Students should engage in as much distance learning activities as possible during this time.

 

Additionally, the RPSB Committee Meetings that are scheduled for this Wednesday will be postponed until next Tuesday, February 23rd at 5:00 PM.

 

We will continue to monitor the weather and road conditions before making final decisions about Thursday and Friday. 

 

Thanks for helping our emergency responders by staying off roads as much as possible. Rapides Parish truly is Better Together.
