Snow Day? No, Beyonce Day Lets South Carolina Students Out Early

The district said in a statement that they worry if the schools dismiss at their regular times, buses will get caught in heavy traffic going to the show

Students at six schools in South Carolina will get to leave early thanks to Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Officials with the Richland 1 School District said expected heavy traffic from a Columbia concert starring the two entertainers led them to close the schools after a half day on Aug. 21.

The district said in a statement that they worry if the schools dismiss at their regular times, buses will get caught in heavy traffic going to the show.

Beyonce and Jay-Z's "On the Run II" concert is being held at the University of South Carolina's 80,000-seat football stadium.

All other schools in Richland 1 will dismiss at their normal times.
