While city streets are in pretty good shape, Hwy 62 from Pollard to St. Francis has several areas of black ice that would be unsafe for our students, staff, parents, and buses to travel during the morning commute. Along with the 200+ staff and students that have been out sick, the Piggott School District WILL BE CLOSED for on-site instructions today. We will use AMI day #6. We will monitor road conditions and make decisions for other school events and about school for Friday later today.
Road conditions are spotty around the Piggott area. Hwy 62 from Piggott to St. Francis has the most accumulation and is mostly sleet. No decision about school closure will be made until about 5:45am in the morning.
