Chatham schools plan delay due to cold

Chatham County Schools will open two hours late Friday, the district announced.

The delay was put in place to allow students waiting at bus stops to avoid the coldest part of the day. Early morning temperatures are expected to be in the teens, and the National Weather Service post a wind-chill advisory through 9 a.m.

All faculty and staff should report to work at their regular times.

Families can expect to receive notification from individual schools about potential changes to the schedule.
