"The decision to change the school schedule is not made lightly," Superintendent Steven Walts wrote in a letter to parents this fall.
The district's transportation staff monitor roads and weather conditions in busy and remote travel areas of the county. The district also pulls information from the Virginia Department of Transportation, area police and the weather service.
"This combined information yields the best decision for the safety of everyone across our large School Division," Walts noted.
