Numerous schools and school districts across mid-Missouri are closed on Wednesday or are going virtual due to the winter storm heading for the region.
Columbia Public Schools (CPS), which is mid-Missouri’s largest district with about 19,000 students, is not in session on Wednesday. CPS will have alternative methods of instruction (AMI) instead. CPS cites the amount of projected snowfall, emphasizing that safety is their top priority. Inclement weather AMI focuses on review and study of material already taught, and computers are not required. Fast-growing Southern Boone R-1 will also not have in-seat instruction and is doing AMI instead.
Numerous other mid-Missouri schools are closed on Wednesday. They include the Jefferson City school district, Calvary Lutheran high school in Jefferson City, Fr. Tolton and Our Lady of Lourdes in Columbia, Hallsville R-IV schools, Fulton Public Schools, Moberly Public Schools and New Franklin R-1.
