School Closings and Delays Today (January 30, 2026)

Today, Friday, January 30, 2026, there are widespread school closures and delays across the United States. This is due to a combination of dangerously cold Arctic temperatures, lingering ice, and the aftermath of a significant winter storm that moved through earlier in the week.

The most affected states include Virginia, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Maryland, and Ohio.

❄️ Major School Closures (Full Day)

Many districts are closed today due to temperatures dropping into the negatives or icy road conditions that remain unsafe for buses.

🕒 Significant Delays (2-Hour or More)

Some districts are choosing to delay starts to allow temperatures to rise and road crews to finish clearing ice.

• Washington D.C.: DC Public Schools are operating on a 2-hour delay.

• South Carolina: School District of Pickens County (2-hour delay).

• Tennessee: Murfreesboro City Schools (2-hour delay).

• Pennsylvania: Indiana Area, United, Punxsutawney, Marion Center, and Penns Manor (2-hour delays).

• Maryland: Many districts in Anne Arundel County and surrounding areas have pivoted to Virtual Learning Days to avoid a full closure.

💻 Remote & Flexible Instruction

Several districts have hit their “snow day” limit and are using alternative instruction methods today:

• Kerns City & Knoch (PA): Remote Learning.

• Seneca Valley & Mars Area (PA): Remote Learning.

• Derry Area & Ligonier Valley (PA): Remote Learning.

• Purchase Line (PA): Flexible Instruction Day (FID).
