Fredericksburg
Fredericksburg City Public Schools will operate on a two-hour delay Friday, February 14. The forecast suggests below freezing temperatures this evening and into the morning, which will make invisible ice a significant possibility tomorrow morning on area roads. Out of an abundance of caution, we will operate on a two-hour delay. This will provide us time to reassess, as necessary, in the morning.
Spotsylvania
Due to the below freezing temperatures forecasted for tonight and the potential for black ice on secondary roads, Spotsylvania County Public Schools will open two hours late on Friday, February 14, 2025. 12-month employees and essential employees report to work on time as safety permits. All other employees report two hours late.
