 Well, staff and students in several area school districts got a late start to their day due to the predicted weather forecast today. Bemidji School District was one of the districts that started late with all schools in the district beginning two hours later than normal in order to account for snow that was headed towards the area. Bemidji's superintendent made the decision after monitoring weather reports comes halting with nearby superintendents of other districts and a leadership team. We want students and staff members to be safe, okay? That's imperative. But we also know that we have a schedule to keep and we want kids to be in school when they can safely be in school. Superintendent has his urging district members to update their contact information. Apparently over 200 messages about the delay sent to parents bounce back because of changed or disconnected numbers. That's the easiest way for the school district to reach everybody.
