The Anchorage School District (ASD) announced that all schools and support facilities will be closed on Thursday after hazardous overnight weather created unsafe road conditions across the city.
District officials said freezing temperatures, accumulated snow, and untreated side streets contributed to poor driving conditions early Thursday morning. The combination made bus routes and student travel unsafe, prompting a full-system closure.
ASD noted that crews have been working to clear major roads, but secondary streets and neighborhood routes remain difficult to navigate. The closure applies to all schools, administrative offices, and support facilities.

The district thanked parents, students, and staff for their patience as winter weather continues to impact travel across Anchorage.
