KUSD Closed Due to Snow as Intense Lake Effect Batters Kenosha

The Kenosha Unified School District has cancelled all classes for Monday, Nov. 10, citing hazardous travel conditions and difficulties clearing school grounds amidst a powerful winter storm.

An aggressive band of Lake Effect snow forced the closure of all Kenosha Unified School District schools today, Monday, November 10.

The announcement came as heavy, blowing, and drifting snow created dangerous conditions across the Kenosha area.

District officials made the call after determining it was nearly impossible to safely clear parking lots and sidewalks for students and staff.

Roads throughout the city and county are in poor shape, with local authorities reporting slick spots and significantly reduced visibility.

The decision underscores the severity of this early-season winter blast.

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for Kenosha County, with forecasters warning that the persistent snow band could linger, adding to already significant accumulations.

Officials are urging residents to avoid travel unless absolutely necessary, as conditions are not expected to improve quickly.

This closure impacts all after-school activities and sporting events, which have also been cancelled.

Parents and residents are advised to monitor local weather updates as the storm continues to impact southeastern Wisconsin.

The primary concern, according to the district, was the hazardous travel facing school buses, parents, and student drivers this morning.
