As a winter storm continues to affect the region, dozens of school districts and colleges across Minnesota and in neighboring states canceled classes, moved to online learning or opted to start classes two hours late for a second day on Tuesday, March 26.

Some districts that did not cancel classes, later decided to call off after-school and evening activities amid worsening road conditions.

Minneapolis, St. Paul and Anoka-Hennepin were among districts that canceled after-school events Tuesday.

Minneapolis school officials said there could be transportation delays as students head home on snowy streets.
