Spring break will not change due to short notice.”

Out of an abundance of caution, Laramie County School District 1 will not be having school tomorrow Friday, March 19. Factors influencing the decision include—1. Many areas across the district are down to one-lane traffic in subdivisions.2. 80% of the sidewalks are not cleared for students to walk and we do not want them walking in the streets. 3. We cannot run the buses with the narrow streets, tight corners and limited staff. We know that this will impact more than 3,000 of our students. 4. We have one lane traffic by many of our schools and believe the congestion and inability to provide safe drop off areas put students and parents at risk. 5. Having the amount of student and parent traffic on the one-lane streets in a relatively short time period has the possibility of creating choke points and stuck vehicles to exacerbate the situation and may increase vehicle accidents.
“We appreciate the work our building and grounds crews have accomplished as well as the work the city and county have accomplished regarding clearing the snow from this storm,” LCSD1 Superintendent of Schools Dr. Boyd Brown said. “We believe the safest option for our students is to not have school tomorrow and to allow all the snow removal crews Friday through Sunday to make it safer for students and staff members to attend school.”

Governor Mark Gordon said this on his official Facebook page about the major snowstorm that has affected Wyoming, especially Cheyenne, “State offices in Cheyenne will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday March 16 as we continue to dig out from this historic 2-day snowstorm. WYDOT, Laramie County and the City of Cheyenne are working tirelessly to clear several feet of wet, heavy snow from our interstates and local roadways. We’re asking folks to stay off the roads and continue to avoid non-essential travel, as stuck vehicles make these efforts more difficult.
Finally, I want to thank our first responders, public safety employees and hospital workers, as well as the plow drivers who have been working long stretches without relief during this storm. In Laramie County, we’ve seen an army of snowmobile volunteers step up to shuttle doctors and nurses to the hospital and public safety workers to their jobs. Throughout the state we’ve heard numerous stories of neighbors helping neighbors. I couldn’t be more proud of how our Wyoming people have responded to this storm.”
