LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - School administrators are watching the neighborhood streets and roads on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

THV11 took a ride with the man responsible for the safety of 16,000 students to find out what goes into his "snow day" decision.

A lot of factors that come into play for Superintendent Dr. Jerry Guess and his 36 schools across the county.

A group of more than a dozen people go out about three times a day and check on the roads, and will monitor changes in temperatures across the next 12 hours.

"I see we have more problems here than we would have had otherwise."

Guess has 730 square miles to check when it comes to the safety of his students.

"If conditions are serious enough tonight, we'll make that call."

He says it's just about looking at all the factors, especially at night.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - An Arkansas lawmaker is proposing moving the state's presidential primary from May to March as part of an effort to create a regional nominating contest among several Southern states.

Republican Sen. Gary Stubblefield of Branch filed legislation Tuesday that would move the state's presidential primary in 2016 from May 17 to March 1. Several states have proposed moving their nominating contests to that day and create what they've dubbed the "SEC primary," a reference to the Southeastern Conference.

Stubblefield says the move would give Arkansas more clout in the party primaries and attract more candidates to the state.

Arkansas had moved its presidential primary to February in the 2008 election, but lawmakers voted to move it back with the May primary a year later.
