Good morning,
After receiving updates from our drivers regarding morning road conditions, Jackson County Schools will continue to operate on a two-hour delay for Tuesday, December 9. Ninety-five percent of our bus routes are not affected.
However, if a bus cannot run your child's route, and you believe road conditions are still unsafe to meet the bus at a designated area, please send a note with your child to school the next day.
Also, please continue to monitor the Zonar App for bus updates.

Thank you, and have a great day.

Good evening,

Jackson County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Tuesday, December 9, 2025.

This decision is due to varying road conditions across the county. The southern region received significantly more snowfall than the north. Additionally, overnight temperatures are forecasted to drop to approximately 20 degrees, which is expected to create freezing and hazardous road conditions, particularly in our rural areas.

Please anticipate a final communication from Jackson County Schools regarding any further updates before 7:30 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Thank you, and have a safe evening.

Good morning. This is Will Hosaflook, Superintendent of Jackson County Schools. I would like to provide an update on the current road conditions affecting our county. Road conditions throughout the county are continuing to improve by the minute. The majority of the roads that were most impacted are located south of Ripley. According to our latest briefing from the National Weather Service, the snowfall is expected to stop around noon today.
This timeline should allow sufficient time for roadways to be treated for a regular school dismissal.
At this time, we do not anticipate any impact on our bus routes. However, should any routes become impacted, you will be promptly notified by the transportation office or the bus operator before the evening bus runs begin.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call our Transportation Office directly at 304-373-1020.
