Therefore, please note the Third Judicial District Court and the Doña Ana County Magistrate Courts will open to the public at 10:00 am.
From LCPS:
Due to freezing temperatures and the potential for foggy driving conditions, Las Cruces Public Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Tuesday, January 27, in an effort to ensure the safety of students and staff.
Under the two-hour delay:
- All schools will begin two hours later than their normal start time. Breakfast will still be served.
- Staff should report to work according to their contract hours. Employees with extenuating circumstances are encouraged to make arrangements with their principal or supervisor.
District officials will continue to monitor weather conditions throughout the event and appreciate the community’s flexibility as LCPS takes precautionary measures to keep students safe.
For updates, families are encouraged to monitor their ParentSquare app, visit the LCPS website, and follow the district’s official social media channels.
From Doña Ana County:
Due to inclement weather conditions, Doña Ana County administrative offices will open with a two-hour delay on Tuesday, January 27, and will resume normal operations at 10 a.m.
The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) meeting will proceed as scheduled and will begin at 9 a.m. The delayed opening will not affect the meeting.
Similar to area school districts, the county will operate on a two-hour delay to allow additional time for road conditions to improve. The delayed opening will also help ensure walkways and building entrances are clear of any ice that may build up overnight, allowing staff and residents additional time to travel safely.
Emergency services and law enforcement will not be affected by the delayed opening.
