Sterling Public Schools has canceled school for tomorrow, Thursday February 16th.
This decision was based on the National Weather Service’s Severe Winter Storm Warning for Sterling, IL where they are forecasting a winter-mix of sleet and ice starting at 6 AM, followed by 5 to 8 inches of snow then 20 to 30 mph winds. With these conditions, country roads will be extremely dangerous, making bus routes almost impossible to traverse.
This decision was made tonight so that parents had an opportunity to arrange child care, if needed, for their child or children tomorrow. Stay safe and warm!
