Lincoln Public Schools announced that Friday, Feb. 20, 2026, will be a District Closure day because of the current winter weather warning. All classes and activities are canceled and all LPS buildings are closed on Friday.

“This afternoon proved once again that Nebraska weather can change in an instant,” said LPS Superintendent John Skretta. “We recognize that district closures can cause hardships for families and our community, however we also have to consider safety. Our crews need time once the storm subsides to clear school grounds and ensure safe school campuses.”

Information about LPS severe weather policy and closure can be found on the LPS website
