Classes Canceled
Morgantown is gearing up for a BIG time matchup as local schools received an extra day off before the Labor Day weekend.
A day before West Virginia University football kicks off its 2024 campaign against 8th-ranked Penn State, local officials canceled classes for county schools on Friday as the area braces for increased traffic congestion ahead of the sold-out home opener.
“In consultation with MECCA 911 and local law enforcement, Monongalia County Schools will be CLOSED for students this Friday, August 30 due to the anticipated traffic congestion and potential delays affecting our bus services,” the school district announced Wednesday evening.
“Monongalia County Schools’ top priority is ensuring student safety. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this change,” the post added.
