Snow isn't the only thing that's been
accumulating lately, as area school systems are having to deal with the accumulating
amount of snow days. Avery and WataugaCountySchools
will hold classes for on Saturday to make up for lost time in the classroom. Avery
County Schools will release students at noon on Saturday, while WataugaCounty
elementary schools will let out at noon and WataugaHigh School
at 1:00 p.m. The Avery County School Board also made a decision to make Monday,
January 18, which is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a regular school day. Marshall
Ashcraft with Watauga County Schools said that from this point on, any time
school is cancelled on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday because of
inclement weather, the system will hold school the following Saturday.
Watauga County Schools will not be open on Saturday if they were closed the
Friday before.
