School Bus Cancellations Today (February 13, 2026)

Bus cancellations for Friday, February 13, 2026, are primarily affecting regions in Eastern Canada and parts of the Southern United States due to a combination of lingering winter storm cleanup and scheduled professional development days.


🇨🇦 Canada: Weather-Related Cancellations

Significant snowfall and icy road conditions have led to several disruptions, particularly in Ontario and the Atlantic provinces.

Ontario

  • Renfrew County (RCJTC): All transportation services are CANCELLED for all areas today due to poor road conditions. This includes schools in Arnprior, Renfrew, and Pembroke.

  • Eastern Ontario (STEO / Tri-Board): Widespread cancellations are in effect for the Upper Canada District and Eastern Ontario Catholic boards. Specific zones in North Hastings, Frontenac, and Lennox & Addington are also seeing full cancellations.

  • Sudbury/Manitoulin: Transportation is cancelled in Espanola, Massey, and Sudbury Districts. Note: Buses on Manitoulin Island ran in the morning but are subject to afternoon weather delays.

  • Grey & Bruce Counties: Some localized cancellations are reported (approx. 50% of routes) in southern Bruce County due to blowing snow and reduced visibility near Lake Huron.

Atlantic Canada

  • Nova Scotia (HRCE): While some schools began the week closed, most are now OPEN, but many rural routes are experiencing 20–40 minute delays as crews continue to clear secondary roads from the February 12th storm.

  • Manitoba: A Fog Alert is in effect for Winnipeg and surrounding areas. While most buses are running, visibility is near zero in rural areas, leading to significant delays.


🇺🇸 USA: Scheduled Closures & Delays

In many U.S. districts, today was already a scheduled “day off” for students, which has mitigated weather-related chaos.

Tennessee

  • Williamson County Schools: CLOSED (No students) – Professional Development Day.

  • Murfreesboro City Schools: CLOSED (No students) – School-Based Planning Day.

  • Roane County Schools: CLOSED – Staff Development.

  • Nashville (MNPS): Schools are OPEN, but students are cautioned regarding sub-freezing morning temperatures.

Mid-Atlantic (MD/VA/WV)

  • Northern Virginia: Most districts are operating on a normal schedule, though some rural routes in Frederick and Loudoun counties have reported “ice-only” delays for higher-elevation stops.

  • West Virginia: Morgan County is operating on a 2-hour delay to allow for salt treatment on shaded backroads.
