Fowler, IN – Students in Benton County will have a late start to classes Monday morning as the Benton Community School Corporation announced a two-hour delay for December 1.
According to the Benton Community School Corporation, the delay allows for daylight and additional time to assess weather and road conditions before buses and drivers begin their morning routes. The district said it wanted to give families advance notice Thursday evening to plan for the schedule change.
Benton County Sheriff’s Department also shared the announcement, urging residents to drive carefully during the early morning commute as conditions could be slick or foggy.
The district noted the decision was made out of caution and that updates will be provided if conditions worsen overnight. Parents and staff are encouraged to monitor official school communication channels for any additional delays or closures.
This two-hour delay affects all Benton Community School Corporation campuses, including Benton Central Jr.-Sr. High School and local elementary schools.
