Washington Court House, OH – Fayette Christian School will be closed Tuesday, Dec. 16, due to hazardous road conditions caused by winter weather, according to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office.
The Sheriff’s Office shared the closure notice Monday morning as icy conditions continued across much of southern Ohio. Officials urged residents to avoid unnecessary travel and allow extra time for essential commutes.
According to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, snow and freezing rain Sunday night created slick roads and low visibility across Fayette County and surrounding areas. Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing through Tuesday morning, raising the potential for black ice on untreated surfaces.
School officials said the closure was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure student and staff safety. Updates on reopening plans will be shared through the school’s official Facebook page and local media outlets.
Drivers are reminded to reduce speed, leave extra distance between vehicles, and check travel advisories before heading out.
