Elsewhere in Northwest Louisiana, Red River Parish schools will remain closed Tuesday.
“I have no assurance that these conditions will improve before our buses have to enter the roadways in the morning.

We will resume school on Wednesday, January 13, 2021 at our regularly scheduled time.”
Sabine Parish Schools also have delayed reopening until Wednesday, because inclement weather has left ice on roads, overpasses & bridges, as well as significant power outages in the parish. Sabine schools will resume their schedules on Wednesday, January 13.
