Inclement Weather Policy
In case of snow or other potentially hazardous weather or emergency situations, a decision may be made to close or delay school. These decisions are made after consulting the National Weather Service, local weather forecasters, and area law enforcement. Additionally, school district personnel drive bus routes to check firsthand on local conditions.
Important: never assume that schools will be closed, delay opening or close early. Schools will be open on their regular schedule unless otherwise announced.
As soon as a decision is made, local radio and television stations are notified and a notice is posted on the school system's web page and to the system's e-mail notification service. Schools typically update the school's main phone line with a message to reflect the closing or delay status. Please do not call radio and television stations. Telephone lines must be kept open so that news media can receive special information from schools and businesses regarding schedule changes.
If schools are closed, please consult the appropriate instructional calendar for make-up days. Make-up days are used in the order they appear on the calendar.
