Caroline
CCPS will be closed Thurs. Feb. 13 for students (no asynchronous). Licensed staff will work from home and 12 month staff will report 2 hours late. Essential personnel on time.
Fredericksburg
Fredericksburg City Public Schools will operate on a two-hour delay Thursday, February 13. City roads and FCPS parking lots appear to be in excellent condition. We expect the coming rain and warmer temperatures to help melt the snow. Out of an abundance of caution, this should provide both safe travel times and the opportunity for us to re-assess, as necessary, in the morning.
Due to the inclement weather and the safety of the public we are cancelling the regularly scheduled meeting and work session of the City Council on February 11, 2025, and a special meeting of the City Council will be held pursuant to Section 13 of the City Charter on February 13, 2025 at 2:00 pm in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 715 Princess Anne St. The purpose of the meeting is to certify the February 4, 2025 closed meeting consistent with Virginia Code Section 2.2-2712 and consider and take action to fill the interim vacancy of the Ward 3 Council seat consistent with Section 7 of the City Charter, which are time sensitive matters. Other agenda matters intended for the February 11, 2025 agenda will be rescheduled for the regular meeting agenda on February 25, 2025 at 7:30 pm.
King George
Tomorrow, Thursday, February 13, schools will be operating on a 2-hour delay due to inclement weather. Additionally, please note that Friday, February 14, is a Teacher Workday, and there will be no school for students.
The King George Virtual Academy Information Session originally scheduled for February 11 has been rescheduled to February 18 at 6:00 PM in the King George Middle School auditorium.

We have evaluated weather and road conditions, and will open on-time tomorrow, Thursday, February 13, 2025. Please continue to dress appropriately for the weather. Slow down, watch for areas of standing water, and drive safely.
