Lockport City School District faculty and staff were asked to report to school today, but most students were let off the hook. Most students, that is, except for those scheduled to take New York State Regents exams.

All four East Niagara schools were closed Tuesday, as well. Also closed were Starpoint, Wilson and Medina schools. Medina schools, however, asked students taking Regents exams to report.

The exams aren't necessary for graduation for most students, but for those going after a Regents diploma, considered of high value among state colleges, they are required.

Today's continued wind chill advisory made for dangerous conditions for kids who walk to school, especially the younger elementary school students. School officials have previously said that any time there is a wind chill of 10 degrees below zero, school would be canceled.

Also closed today are the Kenan Center and DeSales Catholic School, both of which are closed any time Lockport City Schools are cancelled. Lockport Meals on Wheels cancelled for the day, as did Niagara County Headstart.

Newfane, Barker and Roy-Hart schools are started with a two-hour delay.
