WASHINGTON, D.C. — Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025, marking his second non-consecutive term in office. The historic event coincided with extreme cold weather across the nation, forcing schools in Oklahoma to close or shift to remote learning.

TULSA, Okla. — Schools across Oklahoma, including Guymon Public Schools, announced closures or transitions to remote learning due to dangerously low wind chills. Students were instructed to check their emails and Google Classroom for assignments, while kindergarteners were provided with learning packets.

Stay warm and stay safe!”

The dual events of Trump’s inauguration and the extreme weather conditions highlighted a day of significant national and local developments. While the nation’s capital focused on the presidential transition, Oklahoma residents grappled with the challenges posed by the frigid temperatures.
