Newport News Public Schools said schools and offices would operate on a two-hour delay Monday after the winter storm caused power outages in several neighborhoods. Morning PEEP classes were canceled, but afternoon PEEP classes will be held on time. Ten, eleven, and twelve-month employees were told to report two hours late. Conditions will be monitored and any changes will be announced by 7 a.m. Monday.
