CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – After being closed all of last week, Clarksville-Montgomery County schools will remain closed through Tuesday due ice from the winter storm.
“District leaders drove routes across the community again today. The Montgomery County Highway Department, Clarksville Street Department, and TDOT have been working hard, and it shows!” CMCSS spokesman Anthony Johnson said in a press release. “The majority of roads around the community have been cleared and treated, with a few isolated slick spots in shady or hilly areas, and also where vehicles have been parked or abandoned in the way of plows.
“While roads are returning to normal in Clarksville-Montgomery County, most driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and bus stops are still covered in ice, with large berms making many sidewalks inaccessible. Additionally, the CMCSS Operations Department and school custodians continue working so diligently to clear parking lots and sidewalks on school campuses, starting first with high schools and working down to elementary schools,” Johnson said.
“The sun, warmer temperatures, and forecasted rain tomorrow should help tremendously with clearing our campuses and other areas of the community.”
