School Closures Due to Inclement Weather or Power Outages

During the late fall and winter months, weather conditions might cause a school or schools to shut down. The Superintendent of Schools has authority, on behalf of the Board, to temporarily close a school or schools. A number of factors go into this decision, including: student safety, the conditions of roads near schools, school grounds, school bus routes, and whether facilities are fully operational.

The decision to close a school is made in a timely manner, as circumstances allow. Details and updates are always distributed via the below platforms
