Monongalia County Schools is canceling classes Friday in anticipation of the traffic crush in Morgantown for Saturday’s WVU-Penn State match-up at Milan Puskar Stadium.
“We’ve been talking with MECCA and other authorities,” Deputy Schools Superintendent Donna Talerico said Wednesday.
“With all the gridlock expected, we don’t want our kids on buses for hours, if they don’t have to be.”
Staff will still report, Talerico said, with the gridiron-inspired day off to be made up later.
“We’ll re-shift one of our professional development days,” she said.
