HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson USD 308 Superintendent Mike Folks gave the parents in the district the plan for early next week given the weather forecast.

"With the weather forecast and the frigid temperatures and the possibility of snow, I want to let everyone know as soon as possible, that for right now, we are calling a remote learning day, so none of our students will be in their buildings on Monday, February 15. There is a strong possibility with those frigid temperatures, that we would have the same thing happen on Tuesday."

There still is a chance for a snow day for USD 308 on Monday though, if employees can't get to work.

"If, on Sunday, we're getting a large amount of snow, we could change the remote learning day to a traditional snow day, which then our staff would not come in and our students would not be engaged in learning remotely."

A Winter Storm Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service for Sunday into Monday.
