We re not gonna put our students in harm s way, said Superintendent Clint Johnston Author: Robert Townsend Updated: 10:44 PM CST February 10, 2021
FESTUS, Mo. We thought the system was gonna be out of here and it s not, said Superintendent Clint Johnston of the Jefferson R-VII School District in Jefferson County.
Bitterly cold temperatures, snow and frigid air have all now pushed Superintendent Johnston to do more than just watch the winter weather. We have a plan. We will work that plan to the best of our abilities, said Johnston.
Johnston s cold-weather plan first consists of his more than one-thousand k-through 12th graders taking a third, straight snow day on Thursday.
