REMINDER: JMCSS school bus pick-up times on 2-hour delay Thursday

JACKSON, Tenn. — As the new semester begins Thursday for students in the Jackson-Madison County School System, buses will be delayed two hours due to extremely cold temperatures.

The change comes out of concern for the well-being of students who wait outside for the buses, according to a release from the school system.

School will open at regular times and teachers and staff will be on duty, according to the release. Parents will be able to drop off students at normal times, and breakfast will be available to all students when they arrive.

Classes will not begin until all bus riders have arrived.
