We have listened to the input from our staff and parents and made this decision for the safety of everyone in the school district. We will return to our regular schedule on Monday.


Chambers County Schools will be back in session and operating our normal schedule on Friday, January 24, 2025. The County EMA and Road Department have been assessing the roads and will treat any remaining icy spots today. Buses will run at their regular time.


We have been in contact with the Chambers County EMA this morning concerning expected conditions for tomorrow. With the current travel conditions and the uncertainty of travel conditions in the morning, Chambers County Schools will be closed tomorrow January 23rd, for students and staff. No new work will be assigned. We plan to resume normal school operations on Friday.
