Some students in mountain areas where a fresh dusting of snow was delivered by a blustery El Nino-driven storm will return to school Tuesday, but will get off to a late start.
Snowfall prompted officials in the Julian Union, Julian Union High and Spencer Valley Elementary school districts to end classes early Monday so that students could head home amid unsettled and inclement weather across the county. A National Weather Service winter-storm warning for the East County highlands expired at 3 a.m. today.
The start of classes will be delayed by 90 minutes in both Julian districts, according to the San Diego County Office of Education. Classes at Spencer Valley, at the foot of Volcan Mountain, will start one hour later than usual.
