CHARLOTTE — A few of North Carolina’s western counties announced schools will be closed on Monday because of weather concerns.
Ashe, Avery and Watauga County schools were originally on a 2 hour delay, but increasing worries over road conditions pushed the districts to close in some capacity.
Students in Avery and Ashe get the day off, but not in Watuaga -- students there are on a remote learning day.
There is an optional teacher workday in Ashe County.
One Caldwell County school, Collettsville School, is closed due to a power outage.
According to Duke Energy, the outage was caused by fallen trees damaging the equipment. It’s expected to be fixed by 6 p.m. Monday.
