On Friday January 20, 2023, PUSD will be on a two-hour delay. Click the link below to understand what this means for the various campus' schedules. Roads are icy this morning with freezing temperatures likely until late morning.

In Prescott, road conditions are variable based on drainage and terrain. Two-hour delays are designed to allow everyone to assess their situations and slow down on the roads. For all of our PUSD for families, we know that you have a variety of conditions in your area as well as different experiences driving in the snow. We know and understand that families must make their own decisions about driving, and our schools are accommodating for students who are late or absent due to the weather conditions.

Stay warm and be safe,
PUSD Administration

Students and staff; if you would like to show support for our local law enforcement, and in honor of this event, wear BLUE on Monday and consider attending this event with your families.

“The more than 90 Courthouse Plaza trees that are decorated with lights for the holidays will be switched to blue starting Monday night, January 9, 2023 for three nights in honor of National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. A short program will be presented by local agencies at 5:30pm on the Northside steps of the Courthouse. Yavapai County Sheriff, David Rhodes, Prescott Police Chief, Amy Bonney, Prescott Valley Police Chief, Bob Ticer, and Chino Valley Police Chief, Chuck Wynn are all slated to speak. The event is outside and free to attend.

“The lights turned blue last year for the first time, and everyone was delighted with what they saw,” stated Matt Brassard, Board Vice President with the Prescott Downtown Partnership. “We decided to flip the switch this year to show appreciation again to our local heroes. We hope people will take time to come out and show their support to those who protect us every day. We’re grateful to our local leaders who will be there to say a few words about their own organizations. It’s just a small way for us to show our gratitude” Brassard concluded.

Sponsored by Desert Financial Credit Union, Experience Prescott, Friends of Jersey Lilly, Prescott Downtown Partnership, Prescott Chamber of Commerce, & City of Prescott.”

INFORMATION ABOUT WHISKEY OFF-ROAD EVENT

Prescott, AZ (April 27, 2022) - Plans are moving forward for the Whiskey Off-Road mountain bike event scheduled for April 29 through May 1 in Prescott. The City of Prescott (including the Prescott Fire Department and the Prescott Police Department), Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, Yavapai County Emergency Management, and Epic Rides, have been working in close coordination with the officials from the Prescott National Forest as well as the Incident Management Team assigned to the Crooks fire.

We have been regularly evaluating all aspect of the impacts of the fire on the event, including discussions around smoke, emergency response, camping/hotels, public information, and course routes. Our number one priority is life and safety – for the first responders, for community members, for ride participants, and for visitors/spectators. We are evaluating the Crooks Fire daily as the overarching driver for shared decision making regarding the Whiskey Off-Road. We are also ensuring timely, relevant information is shared via several venues regarding the status of the fire, public safety information (evacuation areas and closed areas), as well as air quality information. Everyone involved has stressed that this is a very dynamic situation, and they urge citizens, race contestants and visitors to monitor the situation closely.

As of this time, the scheduled routes for the three-day race are not in the forest closure area. The City of Prescott remains fully open, and no part of the City is currently under any type of evacuation order. A number of dispersed camp sites and recreation areas on the Prescott National Forest, have been affected by closures. Visitors can obtain additional information by visiting the Prescott National Forest Website: http://www.fs.usda.gov/prescott/ or by following them on Facebook or Twitter.

“Our staff, firefighters and police have been working very closely with Prescott National Forest and the Incident Management Team to assess any possible threat the fire may cause to the City and to the event,” said Mayor Phil Goode. “Based on their assessment, I have a very high degree of confidence that this event can be held safely for citizens, contestants and visitors. Of course, we will continue to monitor the situation, and we will be ready to act if conditions change.”

The greatest possible impact to the event is likely to be smoke from the fire. At times, air quality may be unhealthy. The Incident Management Team and Prescott National Forest will have an air quality monitor stationed at the Courthouse Plaza throughout the weekend. Prescott National Forest will assign personnel to be at the event to answer questions the public may have. There is also a link for real-time monitoring of smoke in the area.
