All Anchorage schools are closed on Monday due to weather-related issues, including power outages, icy parking lots, and building maintenance needs. The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District also has a two-hour delayed start for schools on the central Peninsula. Thousands are still without power in Anchorage and surrounding areas.

“Although our crews have worked through the night, we continue to have schools without power, dangerous and unsafe parking lots due to extremely slick conditions, and maintenance issues within schools that have to be addressed,” the district said in a Facebook. Those schools are Su-Valley Jr./Sr. High, Talkeetna Elementary, Trapper Creek Elementary and Willow Elementary. Officials announced a two-hour delay for Glacier View School.
“We recognize some members have been without power for many hours,” utility officials said in the update. “Our crews will continue to work as safely and quickly as they can until all are restored.”
