On Wednesday, Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) officials announced that classes would resume on Thursday, January 20, after two days off due to winter weather conditions.

Although most of the heavy snow had already fallen by Tuesday afternoon, CMSD CEO Eric Gordon said in a statement when discussing the decision to cancel Wednesday that the district makes the call based on road and weather conditions and the impact on students.

"UPDATE: Before deciding whether to open schools tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 19, CMSD must ensure conditions are safe for buses and students who walk. We are working closely with the city to monitor storm cleanup and will announce a decision early Wednesday."

As of 9 a.m. Wednesday, the City of Cleveland's Facebook account said that 90% of the city's streets, approximately 265 out of 292 subsections, had been plowed overnight.
