Due to the forecasted winter storm and dangerous wind chill conditions, Lincoln Public Schools has closed all buildings and canceled all classes and activities for Wednesday. Wednesday is a District Closure Day for Lincoln Public Schools.
“LPS knows that school closures can cause hardships for families, and for that reason LPS tries to remain open during inclement weather whenever possible,” says district spokesperson Mindy Burbach. “A decision to cancel classes during inclement weather is always made in the best interest of safety for our students and staff.”
She says when LPS makes decisions to close in inclement weather, the school district considers challenging conditions for students, staff and families, as well as potentially hazardous conditions in all areas in the Lincoln city limits.
