School Board meeting canceled and two-hour delay for schools Wednesday

In response to a winter weather advisory that warns of the potential for dangerous travel conditions tonight and in the morning, the regularly scheduled school board meeting for Tuesday, February 24 has been canceled and Richland School District Two will operate on a two-hour delay for students and employees on Wednesday, February 25.

A two-hour delay means middle schools will start at 9:30 a.m., elementary schools will start at 10 a.m. and high schools will start at 10:30 a.m.

District officials will continue to monitor weather conditions with the assistance of Richland County Emergency Preparedness. The district will keep parents, students and staff informed by using the district’s Blackboard Connect system to call with emergency and other messages.

Parents can also get information about school cancellations and delays by checking this website, watching R2TV (the district’s cable access channel on Time Warner) and staying tuned to local media reports for updates.
