FROM EXPRESS TIMES


Due to a lack of street salt in Bushkill Township, the Nazareth Area School District has closed all schools this morning, according to an alert to parents.
The township has been waiting since Jan. 24 for a salt delivery, a township official confirmed this morning, adding that on Wednesday it made a disaster declaration in an effort to force a state-approved salt vendor to bring salt.
"A significant number of roadways are covered with ice and/or black ice, which makes driving conditions extremely treacherous," the district wrote. "One may assume that the Nazareth Area School District could simply close Bushkill Elementary School.
