School Closing Policy:
If inclement weather prevents opening schools on time, a two (2) hour delay of all schools will be scheduled.
Whenever the weather warrants a possible school closure, the safe transportation of children both to and from school will be the district's highest priority.
A decision on school delays will be made by 5:30 am by the Superintendent of Schools, after consultation with the Buildings and Grounds and Transportation Departments and other county school districts. A phone and email message and social media and website posts will then be released soon after.
An announcement will be made by 6:00 am regarding a school closure or a two (2) hour delay of school. A second announcement will be made by 7:30 am following a two-hour delay if school is to be closed for a full day. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SCHOOL.
