JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Officials with the Jackson Public School District (JPS) announced the plans for learning on Tuesday, January 23.

According to JPS, the district is dealing with fluctuating weather conditions, along with water and HVAC challenges. While the district saw a few improvements at some sites, many of the JPS schools are still without adequate water pressure.

Temperatures are expected to rise into the 60s on Tuesday. With the temperature variations throughout the day, JPS officials requested that parents send their children to school with layered clothing.
