KTVE-KARD Latest School Closings and Delays

| | Louisiana | No Comments

For residents of Northeast Louisiana and South Arkansas, staying informed during severe weather events—from winter ice storms to heavy spring flooding—is a top priority. KTVE 10 (NBC) and KARD 14 (FOX), through their shared MyArkLAMiss platform, provide the most comprehensive school closing and delay updates for the Ark-La-Miss region.

Current School Closings and Delays Status

Where to Find Real-Time Closing Lists

KTVE and KARD utilize a synchronized system to push weather alerts to the community. Here are the three most reliable ways to check your school’s status:

The MyArkLAMiss Closings Page: This is the primary online hub for the Ark-La-Miss region. You can find the searchable list at MyArkLAMiss.com/Closings.
KTVE/KARD Storm Tracker App: Specifically designed for regional weather, this app allows you to set custom alerts for your county or parish, notifying you the moment a closing is posted.
On-Air Broadcasts: During severe weather events, look for the “First Alert” ticker at the bottom of the screen on both KTVE 10 and KARD 14.

Common Closure Terms for the Ark-La-Miss

In this region, weather disruptions often fall into these categories:

Status	Impact on Families
Virtual Learning Day	Physical campuses are closed, but students are expected to complete assignments via Google Classroom or similar platforms.
Delayed Start	Commonly used during “Black Ice” events in South Arkansas. Schools usually open at 10:00 AM to allow roads to thaw.
Closed	Total cancellation of school and all extra-curricular events (sports, band practice, etc.).

How Decisions Are Made

District leaders in parishes like Ouachita and Lincoln, along with counties like Union and Ashley, work directly with the First Alert Storm Team. Decisions regarding morning commutes are typically announced between 5:00 AM and 6:30 AM, while decisions for afternoon dismissals are often made by noon.

Pro-Tip: If you see “LSU Health Shreveport” or “ULM” on the list, pay close attention, as university closures often signal that local K-12 districts will soon follow suit due to hazardous road conditions.
