Spartanburg schools announce Wednesday will be e-learning day for students
All Spartanburg County School districts 1-7 will have another eLearning day Wednesday, January 19 to account for icy conditions on roadways after the historic winter storm in the Upstate.
The National Weather Service has issued a weather statement regarding the potential for black ice in the area which will likely develop tonight and persist into Wednesday morning.

School district activities are cancelled for Wednesday, and district offices and school facilities will also be closed. According to the National Weather Service, the major concern continues to be overnight freezing temperatures causing widespread black ice, making many secondary roads impassable.
Spartanburg school districts 1-7 are all approved eLearning districts, therefore Tuesday and Wednesday school closures will not result in students and faculty having to make up those days at the end of the year as instruction will be provided by teachers to their students.

Teachers and schools will be in touch with students regarding assignments.
The National Weather Service is monitoring yet another potential snowfall in the coming days.
