Schools call off classes for second straight day after weekend winter storm; Jefferson City to have AMI day

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

With below-average cold inhibiting snow removal and more extreme cold expected Tuesday morning, Mid-Missouri school districts began to cancel Tuesday classes on Monday afternoon.

Fulton, South Callaway and New Bloomfield were among the districts that decided to call off Tuesday classes as the sun was still shining Monday. In the case of New Bloomfield, students will learn from home instead.

The Jefferson City School District announced on Monday that it would not hold in-person class and would instead hold its second day of alternative methods of instruction on Tuesday.

"JC Schools will be CLOSED TUES 1/27/26 due to inclement weather & potentially unsafe travel conditions. This will be AMI Day #2," the post says.
