Anderson Two Families,

Safety is our top priority, and this later start time will allow students, parents, and staff to travel during daylight hours with better visibility.
Bus routes will run 2 hours later than the regular schedule, and buses will not travel on roads that remain icy. Our Transportation Department will notify those on all affected routes.
Morning classes at the Career and Technology Center will meet on Tuesday, February 3. CTC students should report to their class no later than 10:30 a.m.
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility! We look forward to seeing our students and staff back in the classroom tomorrow!

WINTER WEATHER WEBSITE Emergency management officials have created a “one-stop shop” for the latest storm information, including updates on county closures, warming shelters, power company contacts, and other essential resources.
Council Declares State of Emergency Ahead of Winter 2026 Storm
Jan 22, 2026
Anderson County Council Declares State of Emergency Ahead of Winter 2026 Storm. At 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 22, 2026, the Anderson County Council voted to declare a state of emergency in anticipation of the potential impacts of the Winter 2026 storm.
Over the past week, Anderson County departments have worked collaboratively to coordinate preparation efforts and mobilize necessary resources to ensure public safety and continuity of services.
“This action is in keeping with the disaster declaration issued yesterday by Governor McMaster and helps ensure that response efforts are well coordinated and quickly implemented,” said Anderson County Council Chairman Tommy Dunn.
The state of emergency will remain in effect until conditions warrant.
Anderson County Emergency Management is actively preparing for an expected extreme winter weather event impacting the Upstate.
In advance of the storm, officials operating within the Anderson County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) have launched a centralized “one-stop shop” website providing critical winter weather information. The site includes updates on county closures, warming shelters, power company contacts, and other essential resources.
Residents can access the site at:
https://www.emd.andersonsheriff.org/winterstorm
The Emergency Operations Center is currently operating at Operational Condition (OpCon) 2, indicating enhanced situational awareness and preparedness. One of the primary concerns associated with this event is ice accumulation and prolonged freezing temperatures expected overnight from Saturday into the remainder of the week. Emergency officials strongly urge residents to stay off roadways, limit travel, and take necessary steps now to prepare ahead of the storm.
The largest warming shelter in Anderson County will be located at the Anderson Civic Center and more real time information about shelter openings will be located on the EMD winter weather website.
Additionally, county officials have requested assistance from the South Carolina National Guard to support shelter operations and assist with debris removal in areas most affected by potential power outages or stormrelated damage.
Emergency Management officials will continue close coordination with local school districts to provide the
most up-to-date information as conditions evolve.
The community is encouraged to continue monitoring Anderson County Emergency Management social media platforms for frequent updates throughout the duration of the event.
