DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) – In the aftermath of an unusual snowstorm, Dothan City Schools and several neighboring districts have announced closures for Thursday, Jan. 23, due to lingering hazardous road conditions.
Superintendent Dr. Dennis Coe stated the decision was made after consultations with the National Weather Service, Dothan-Houston County EMA, school transportation services, and other stakeholders. Despite sunny conditions, freezing temperatures have prevented snow from melting, making travel unsafe for students and staff.
Schools in Houston, Henry, Geneva, and Geneva City districts, along with Wallace Community College, will also remain closed Thursday. A decision regarding Friday’s operations will be announced Thursday afternoon.
Families are encouraged to monitor official communication channels for updates. Officials urge everyone to prioritize safety as the region recovers from this rare weather event.
