In light of an expected snowfall, Wayne County Public Schools announced the closures of some schools and early dismissals for others on Wednesday.
Wayne/Early Middle College High School and the Wayne School of Engineering will be closed Wednesday and all schools on the traditional academic calendar as well as Goldsboro High School will dismiss three hours early.
All after-school programs have been canceled for Wednesday afternoon as well.
On the first day back from winter break today, schools across the county opened on a two-hour delay in response to the frigid weather sweeping across the area.
Grantham Elementary, Grantham Middle and Northeast Elementary schools were also closed today after suffering utility failures, with one closure a direct result of the freezing temperatures.
All three schools are expected to be reopened Wednesday.
