Natchitoches Parish schools will remain closed on Wednesday, Jan. 22 as a precautionary measure due to potential hazardous road conditions.
Following discussions with the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office, officials have identified concerns about the possibility of melting and refreezing on wet roads, which could create unsafe driving conditions for students, staff, and bus drivers.
“The safety of our students, staff, and bus drivers is our top priority, and we want to ensure everyone remains safe,” stated school officials.
The closure will not impact the academic calendar, as sufficient days are built into the schedule to accommodate weather-related disruptions.
The district appreciates the community’s understanding and will continue to provide updates as needed. In the meantime, residents are encouraged to stay warm and prioritize safety.
