Heavy rain expected overnight has prompted Gadsden Independent School District to delay the start of the school day on Tuesday.
Gadsden ISD announced in a social media post that all schools will operate on a two-hour delayed start on Tuesday because of rain.
The district said many parts of Gadsden ISD recently received heavy rainfall and experienced flooding and road damage, and additional rain could make conditions worse.
The district said the delay is intended to give teams time to assess road conditions.
Under the two-hour delay:
All schools will start two hours later than their regular start time.
Bus routes will run two hours later than usual.
Afternoon dismissal times will not change.
Gadsden ISD urged anyone who must travel Tuesday morning to use caution and not drive through flooded roadways.
If conditions require further changes, the district said it will notify families by 6:30 a.m. through ParentSquare, the district website at www.gisd.k12.nm.us, and its Facebook page. Questions can be directed to the district office at 575-882-6200.
