TRANSPORTATION IN INCLEMENT WEATHER 

School district buses will not operate when weather conditions due to fog, rain, snow or other natural elements make it unsafe to do so. Because weather conditions may vary around the school district and may change quickly, the best judgment possible will be used with the information available. 

The final judgment as to when conditions are unsafe to operate will be made by the superintendent. The superintendent will be assisted by the actual "on location" decisions and reports of the drivers. 

When weather conditions deteriorate during the day after school has begun, cancellation notices will be announced by commercial radio and parent calling systems. Students will be returned to their regular drop-off sites unless weather conditions prevent it.
