Chester County School District will operate on a 2-hour delay Thursday, January 23, 2025, as overnight freezing may continue to cause hazardous driving conditions during the morning hours, especially on rural routes and side roads. The change will give all morning commuters and our buses additional time and daylight to reach school safely. Students who ride the bus should arrive at their stop two hours later than usual. Similarly, all students and staff should report to their school buildings two hours later than their regular time. We ask that everyone please exercise caution on the roads. Students should also continue to dress warmly, as colder than usual temperatures will continue through the end of the week. Thank you and stay safe!
