Three local school systems on 2-hour delay on Friday

From Staff Reports The Dalton Daily Citizen Thu Jan 17, 2013, 09:13 PM EST

The Dalton, Whitfield County and Murray County public school systems are delaying all schools in their systems two hours on Friday.

Whitfield school officials said, "Buses will run, so bus riders should plan to be at their bus stops two hours later than usual."

Dalton district offices will also be on a two-hour delay.

School closings are announced first on social media, through text messages sent to parents and students signed up for the service through their individual schools, and on the schools systems’ websites, www.daltonpublicschools.com, www.whitfield.k12.ga.us and www.murray.k12.ga.us.
