Heavy rain expected overnight has prompted Gadsden Independent School District to delay the start of the school day on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Gadsden ISD announced in a social media post that all schools will operate on a two-hour delayed start on Tuesday because of rain. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The district said the delay is intended to give teams time to assess road conditions.<\/p>\n
Under the two-hour delay:<\/p>\n
All schools will start two hours later than their regular start time.<\/p>\n
Bus routes will run two hours later than usual. <\/p>\n
Afternoon dismissal times will not change.<\/p>\n
Gadsden ISD urged anyone who must travel Tuesday morning to use caution and not drive through flooded roadways.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
