Emergency Closings
The Superintendent may close school or delay opening of school
at his discretion for such conditions as insufficient heat,
communicable diseases, civil disorder, or when weather conditions
prevent the safe operation of school buses on major routes.
Notice of such closings shall be given via radio stations,
e-mail and/or an automatic notification system (such as Alert
Now!) as soon after 6:30 a.m. as possible. If school must
be closed during the school day, similar notice shall be given
prior to dismissing students.
If road conditions change after school has opened and prevent
the safe return of children by school bus, notice shall be
given as specified in the paragraph above and children will
be dismissed only at the direction of their parents or other
responsible individual.
