Code Number: 709.4
Weather conditions may interfere with the safe and orderly transportation of students. The final judgment as to when conditions are unsafe (or have a high probability of being or becoming unsafe) for transportation of students will be made by the Superintendent or his/her designee. The following standards shall generally apply:
The standard delay time for late arrival due to weather is two hours. The standard early dismissal due to weather is two hours ahead of the regular dismissal time for a building. However, the Board recognizes that special circumstances may, from time to time, necessitate that the Superintendent or his/her designee deviate from these guidelines. The school community shall be notified of cancellations, late starts, and early outs through media outlets, social media, and the phone notification system.
In the event of early dismissal or school cancellation, all school activities are cancelled for the day.
