Icy road Farley Road 1-8-17
Several parts of Hoover, Alabama, still have hazardous road conditions following the snow and sleet that fell Friday and Saturday, Jan. 6-7, 2017. This is an icy patch on Farley Road near Chapel Road in the Bluff Park community on Sunday, Jan. 8, 2017.
The Hoover school system has decided to keep schools closed to students on Monday, Jan. 9, due to hazardous road conditions in several parts of the city.
However, 12-month school employees are to report to work by 10 a.m. Monday.
School officials said they made the decision after consulting with emergency management officials and the city of Hoover and due to their own review of roads leading to and from school campuses.
“Despite street sanding and other efforts to clear roadways, several hazardous areas remain on neighborhood streets from Bluff Park to Greystone,” the school system said in a press release.
