Thu Jan 23 10:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Atlanta-Area Schools Continue Cancellations and Delays Amid Winter Storm

**Atlanta, GA** – Numerous school districts across metro Atlanta and South Georgia have announced cancellations and delays for Wednesday due to inclement winter weather. The FOX 5 Storm Team is monitoring a significant snowstorm impacting the state.

Decisions regarding school closures are made by individual district superintendents, who consider a range of factors beyond simply temperature. These include the potential for wind chill and frostbite, and the needs of students with health conditions like asthma. Atlanta Public Schools, for example, offers special accommodations for students with such conditions during cold weather. There is no single temperature threshold that triggers automatic closures.

Parents are advised to check with their individual school districts for the most up-to-date information on closures and delays.
