'Worst we've ever had': Winter weather forces Northcentral Technical College to get creative after cancellations

Play Video

WAUSAU - Dr. Lori Weyers made the difficult decision to keep Northcentral Technical College (NTC) open on Monday.



Grade schools all around were closed, but NTC, based in Wausau, was open as normal.



However, the winter as a whole has been the opposite of normal for the ten campuses.



Weyers called this winter the worst she's ever had as president of NTC. She's been forced to close NTC five times because of weather.



"Weather is hard. I stress over it a lot. But I'll always err on the side of safety for our students and staff. If someone cannot make it in, no one is penalized," Weyers said.
