Kansas City-area schools close for Tuesday snow. Here’s the list of what’s closed
As snow started to blanket the Kansas City region Monday afternoon, with more heavy snowfall falling between Monday night and Tuesday night, many Kansas City-area school districts announced closures for Tuesday.
Four inches of snow was forecast to fall by Monday evening, according to the National Weather Service. Another 4 to 7 inches are expected to fall across the Kansas City area throughout Tuesday, with 6 to 9 inches expected south of the metro.
Several schools across the metro canceled class for at least one day last week after a Tuesday snowstorm. Some districts have adjusted their calendars after using most or all of their allotted snow days and virtual instruction days during previous inclement weather.
Here is the working list of schools that have announced closures, late starts and virtual learning days for Tuesday. The Star is also tracking local government offices that have announced closures Tuesday.
The Star will update this list as information comes available. Do you know of a closure not included on this list? Email us at tips@kcstar.com.
