Hatboro-Horsham Schools Closed For Snow

HATBORO / HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA—With several inches of snow expected on Monday, the Hatboro-Horsham School District will be closed for the day.

Heavy and possibly dangerous snow is expected to blanket the Philadelphia area overnight and through the day Monday, with up to 6 inches in the forecast for parts of the region, forecasters said.

Snowfall is expected to start early Monday and end in the afternoon and evening, the National Weather Service said.

"Due to the forecasted snow, the Hatboro-Horsham School District is closed," the school district posted. "With a winter weather advisory in place, we are facing steady snow from early morning throughout the day. While snow totals may not be extensive, any snow on top of already-frozen ground will make clearing the roads and walkways throughout the day difficult, creating hazardous conditions. Travel to school is predicted to be challenging."

All after-school and evening events, including the Hatboro-Horsham School Board meeting and all community events held in district facilities, are canceled for Monday.

The Keystone Exams scheduled at the high school will be postponed until Tuesday.

Twelve-month district staff will work remotely. Essential employees, including maintenance and custodial personnel, will receive direction from their supervisor, school officials said.
