“Union County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, due to light snowfall and below-freezing temperatures in the area. There are some slick icy spots on the north side of the county. Road conditions across the district will be monitored, and any updates to the day’s schedule will be shared later this morning,” the district said.
