Edmond Public Schools Cancels Classes For Jan. 14

Edmond Public Schools announced Thursday that it will cancel all classes for Friday, Jan. 14.

The district cites "a large number of staff illnesses and unfilled sub-jobs throughout our district."

More than 300 staff members are absent districtwide. The absences made it difficult for the district to transition to remote learning in one day, according to a letter sent to parents by EPS superintendent Dr. Angela Grunewald.

Grunewald said the district's plan is to return to in-person learning on Tuesday, Jan. 18, following the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
