What to expect during inclement weather situations.
In the event of inclement weather, the Superintendent will determine if a change to normal operating procedures is required. The Superintendent will make this decision following an evaluation of weather conditions, road and building conditions, and in consultation with the transportation and facilities administrators in order to determine if buses can safely transport students. As a change in normal school operations is timely for staff and students, every effort will be made to arrive at a decision prior to 6:00 a.m.
This information will be posted via email, phone and text to communicate directly with parents and guardians. The information will also be available online and through local media outlets such as radio stations and regional television stations. The following outlines procedures which may be implemented.
