4 Mat-Su schools closed for second day by bad roads

For the second straight day, road conditions are causing the closure of four Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District schools in the Susitna Valley, according to a notice on the district's website.

Willow, Trapper Creek and Talkeetna elementary schools, are closed Thursday, as well as the Su Valley Junior and Senior High School, the district said.

"At Su Valley, the basketball tournament games have a two-hour delayed start with first game tipping off at 11 a.m.," the notice said, warning those attending the games to drive safely.

All other Mat-Su schools remain open Thursday, the district said.
