School Operations Update |Monday, October 7, 2024
Following continued improvement in local conditions over the past several days, I am pleased to let you know that Rutherford County Schools will reopen to students on Wednesday, October 9.
Numerous roadways in our county are still affected by downed trees and other obstructions, and those roads will remain closed to school bus traffic until they are cleared. We have assembled a complete list of roads closed to school bus traffic, and we will update that list on our website and social media platforms by 4:00 PM each day until all roads are open to school bus traffic.
Occasional obstructions, low-hanging limbs, and narrowed lanes exist even on some roads that are open to school bus traffic, so we recommend that drivers use extra care on all roadways. In order to maximize visibility as our school buses and other drivers resume school-related travel, Rutherford County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Wednesday, October 9, and then return to a normal operating schedule on Thursday, October 10.
