Baltimore, MD – Baltimore County Public Schools will open two hours late on Tuesday due to weather-related concerns, according to an announcement shared by the Baltimore County Police Department Monday morning.
The delay follows overnight snowfall and icy road conditions across parts of the county, prompting officials to adjust start times for student and staff safety. The school system said the two-hour delay applies to all schools and offices, including transportation routes.
According to the National Weather Service, early morning temperatures are expected to remain below freezing Tuesday, with patchy ice possible on untreated roads. The delay will allow road crews additional time to salt and clear main and secondary routes before buses begin their morning runs.
Families are advised to check the Baltimore County Public Schools website and official social media pages for any additional updates. Before- and after-school programs will adjust their schedules accordingly, and breakfast service may be limited or canceled at some locations.
Drivers are urged to allow extra travel time Tuesday morning, especially in northern and western parts of the county where snow totals were higher. Police also remind motorists to clear snow from vehicles completely and reduce speed on slick roads.
This marks the district’s first weather-related delay of the season, following a weekend storm that brought several inches of snow to the region.
