School districts, charter schools and private schools, in conjunction with public safety officials, will continue to monitor weather and road conditions, as most school districts in the county have already started the new school year. Conditions permitting, those schools "will operate as usual" on Monday "to ensure students have a safe place to go and learn," Watson said.
