RUTHERFORD COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — All Rutherford County Schools will reopen Monday after remaining closed through Friday due to unsafe campus conditions.
District leaders said icy sidewalks and parking lots, power outages, and downed trees prompted the extended closure.
Crews worked throughout the week to prepare schools for a safe return, and officials said the decision to stay closed was made out of an abundance of caution to prevent injuries.
Parents are also reminded that the deadline to submit choice school applications is Saturday, Jan. 31. Applications for magnet schools and available choice seats can be submitted online. Questions can be directed to choice@rcschools.net.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
