School closing and delays today (Tuesday, Dec 23): As a strong winter storm moves across the United States, school officials are putting student safety first by announcing a wave of school closings and delays today, December 23, 2025.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), winter storm warnings remain in effect for several states, with treacherous black ice conditions reported on major thoroughfares. Early morning assessments from local transit authorities indicate that secondary roads remain untreated, leading to a surge in school closing announcements across the tri-state area and the Great Lakes region.
Whether you are looking for school closing in Connecticut or checking for school closing for tomorrow, staying informed is critical as weather patterns shift rapidly during the holiday commute.
List of School Closings and Delays Today by State
Districts are currently evaluating road conditions hour-by-hour. Below is a breakdown of the most significant disruptions reported by official local education agencies (LEAs).
| State | Primary Status | Notable School District Updates |
| Connecticut | Widespread Delays | Many Hartford & New Haven districts are on 2-hour delays. |
| Ohio | Significant Closings | Columbus and Cincinnati rural routes are reported CLOSED. |
| Minnesota | Remote Learning | Twin Cities shifting to "E-Learning" due to extreme wind chill. |
| New York | Early Dismissals | Upstate districts are monitoring a fast-moving snow squall. |
While some metropolitan areas are opting for school delays to allow salt trucks more time to clear ice, rural districts with high bus mileage have largely opted for full cancellations. Officials from the Department of Transportation urge parents to avoid travel if a delay is in effect, as bridge icing remains a primary concern for morning bus routes.
