When Fayette County schools close for snow

Fayette County Public Schools announces closures on its own site and local news. Some bad-weather days are non-traditional instruction (NTI) days, when school happens at home, so check which kind of day it is.

Museums, libraries and rinks often open late or close on snow days. Check each place’s page or its social posts that morning; the hours above are their usual hours, not snow-day hours.
