Winter weather in Forsyth County can be severe, and November 11th is set to experience some of the harshest conditions yet this season. According to weather forecasts from reputable sources like the National Weather Service, snowfall is expected to be substantial, accompanied by freezing temperatures. This presents significant travel hazards and health risks for students, parents, and school staff.

Travel safety must be our priority, especially for students who walk long distances or rely on school buses. Snow and ice make roads and sidewalks treacherous, increasing the risk of accidents and potential injuries. The danger is not just limited to the morning commute but is a concern throughout the day as roads may not thaw until much later.

Exposing children to extremely cold weather while waiting for buses can lead to health issues, including frostbite and hypothermia, especially in young children who are more vulnerable to such conditions. Schools should not be burdened with the potential liability that such risks pose.

Given these pressing concerns, we urge the local school district to prioritize the safety and well-being of all and cancel classes for November 11th. This decision will allow families to plan accordingly, ensuring that no child or staff member is put in harm's way due to adverse weather.

Please sign this petition to support the closure of schools on November 11th due to the inclement weather forecast. Together, we can advocate for this necessary step to protect our community. FORSYTH COUNTY.
