The residents and students of Forsyth County in Georgia are requesting the cancellation of school on November 10, 2025, due to severe cold weather conditions. On this day, temperatures are projected to plummet, posing significant challenges and safety risks for students commuting to school.

Historically, early November in Forsyth County can experience temperature drops that reach below freezing levels. According to the National Weather Service, temperatures in the region during this time have been known to reach as low as 20°F. These frigid conditions can lead to icy roads, making transportation hazardous for school buses and student drivers alike.

In addition to transportation concerns, extreme cold can affect school infrastructure, causing heating issues and reduced functionality in classrooms. In recent years, other school districts across the United States have adopted policies to close schools during unusually cold days to safeguard the well-being of students and staff.

Forsyth County Schools should consider student health and safety as a top priority. Exposing children to extreme cold for prolonged periods can lead to health problems, including hypothermia and frostbite. Ensuring that school is cancelled on this day would demonstrate the district's commitment to the safety and well-being of its students.

We urge the Forsyth County Board of Education to proactively address this issue. Aligning with community concern, they can take this opportunity to set a precedent prioritizing student safety over rigid scheduling.

By signing this petition, you are supporting the call for canceling school on November 10, 2025, in Forsyth County. Let's work together to ensure our children's safety is prioritized during extreme weather conditions. Please sign this petition today and make our community a safer place for all students.
