Klickitat School District to start late Monday

Goldendale, WALocal News

Klickitat School District is implementing a two-hour delay on Monday, February 24, 2025, in response to significant weather-related challenges. The delay is primarily due to ongoing flood warnings, which pose risks to travel safety, along with reports of rocks obstructing the highway. Additionally, leakage in school buildings has raised concerns about the safety of the facilities. This decision reflects the district's commitment to prioritizing the safety and well-being of its students and staff during adverse weather conditions. Parents and guardians are encouraged to stay informed about the situation and to adjust their morning schedules accordingly.

The district will continue to monitor the weather and provide updates as needed to ensure everyone is prepared. Community members are reminded to remain cautious and adhere to any further weather advisories issued by local authorities. Maintaining open communication and preparedness is essential during this time.
