Some East TN roads are still snowy and dangerous. Here's why leaders are closing schools
SUMMARY: Following a winter storm, many East Tennessee school districts are canceling classes due to dangerous conditions, particularly on back roads and in neighborhoods. While main roads appear clear and drivable, half of the districts in the area, including Anderson County Schools, remain closed. Transportation Director Johnny Golden emphasizes that safety is paramount, as buses often traverse less stable back roads where conditions can be hazardous—even if some streets seem fine. Parents are encouraged to understand these decisions prioritize student safety. For a full list of closures, residents can visit the local website for updates.
