SCHOOL CLOSINGS AND CANCELLATIONS
Inclement Weather: In the event of bad weather, the superintendent of schools will make the decision to cancel or delay the start of school and whether or not staff are to report for duty. When school is canceled, ordinarily all after-school activities will be canceled. Any decision to the contrary must have the superintendent of schools' permission and include provision for communicating with all affected parties in a timely manner. Weather information will be sought from current weather station reports and consultation with the transportation supervisor and other area superintendents. The decision to cancel school will be made as early as possible. A phone tree will be developed to alert the staff, and the superintendent of schools shall inform the local media. School staff and student families will be notified via the approved calling system. The board of education will determine in the spring whether time missed for inclement weather or other emergency school closing should be made up.
