Freezing temps threw a wrench into morning routines across Charlotte as dozens of school districts scrambled to keep kids safe. Most districts settled on a two-hour delay, hoping to give roads time to thaw, but mountain counties went further—some switched to remote learning or closed entirely. Parents had to stay glued to their phones for last-minute updates, since plans could change fast if conditions worsened. It’s a real balancing act: keeping students safe, not losing learning time, and helping families adjust on the fly. How did your family handle the disruption? Did your district’s decision feel right? #Education #CharlotteSchools #WinterWeather
