Jackson schools to open on two-hour delay Thursday due to icy conditions

JACKSON, N.J. — The Jackson School District will operate on a two-hour delayed opening Thursday due to expected overnight freezing and hazardous road conditions, officials announced.

The district cited the anticipated wintry weather as the reason for the delay, urging students to arrive at their bus stops and schools two hours later than usual.

Morning child care services will not be available, and families were directed to the district’s School Hours page for specific schedules.

Officials emphasized the importance of caution during the morning commute as icy conditions may persist on roads and sidewalks.

Residents are encouraged to monitor district updates for any further schedule changes due to the weather.
