Members of the RCS leadership team have visited all 52 school campuses to assess the condition of parking lots and sidewalks, and there are several areas that remain ice-covered, especially around entrances that students use. RCS does stock snow-melt salt, but we don’t have enough to cover the amount of issues that remain.

Sumner County Schools – closed through January 30
Sumner County Schools will be closed through Friday, January 30, 2026.
Williamson County Schools – closed through January 30
Many secondary and subdivision roads remain covered in ice and tree limbs making travel hazardous – and in some cases – impossible for school buses. In addition, we are still clearing ice and downed trees from our school campuses and working to ensure heating units are running properly.
For those reasons, there will be no school in Williamson County Schools on Friday, January 30, 2026.
The School Age Child Care program will be open at all inclement weather sites – except for Fairview – on both Thursday, January 29 and Friday, January 30. The program has communicated specifics directly with families.
Twelve-month employees should follow the snow day protocol. Those who can work remotely, may do so, with the approval of their supervisor.
This will be our fifth snow day of the school year. We have ten built into the calendar.
Wilson County Schools – closed Thursday, January 29
Wilson County Schools will be closed on Thursday, January 29, 2026.
Only 12-month employees report. However, if you feel that travel would be unsafe, then please communicate that with your supervisor.
Kids Club will operate its Snow/Inclement Weather schedule.
There are still several roads throughout the county that would not be considered safe for school day bus and vehicle travel. While we do expect more melting on roadways today, temps are forecasted to once again drop well below freezing tonight and cause more refreezing issues.
We are very hopeful for a much more impactful melting day tomorrow with temps expected to rise well above freezing but Friday remains very much in question for a return. While we hope to get back by then, we are going to need much more melting to occur throughout the day today and tomorrow.
