Marietta Schools are back to normal Tuesday after icy storm

Marietta City Schools students will be heading back to school Tuesday after a weekend winter storm that's kept them out of the classroom.

The school system made the announcement on its Facebook page just before 5 p.m. Monday.

“I want to thank the numerous people in our MCS maintenance and transportation departments – they have been working tirelessly today to make sure our buildings, sidewalks, and buses are ready to welcome our students back tomorrow,” wrote new superintendent Grant Rivera.
