The Jefferson City School District and Columbia Public Schools were among several in Mid-Missouri that called off Tuesday sessions by mid-afternoon Monday as snow continued to blanket the region and temperatures hovered near zero degrees. Fulton Public Schools also called off school Tuesday.
At least two dozen area schools had canceled their Tuesday classes by 2 p.m. Monday. CPS alerted families just before 3 p.m. that it would not be in session Tuesday, with JC Schools putting out the word on Twitter about 20 minutes later. The weather also shut down area college and university campuses, pushing many classes online. Doctors' offices and community organizations also had to shut their doors.
