Policy: EBCD
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 closing shall be given via radio stations 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
to prevent the safe return of children by school bus, notice
shall be given as specified in the paragraph above and children
dismissed only at the direction of their parents or other
responsible individual.
