Weather Delay / Closure Procedures

Determination of Delay or Closure

The day/evening before a weather event is predicted…
- Mrs. McCoy will monitor weather activity on Cincinnati news channels and weather apps.
- If the predicted weather event could impact a safe commute, Mrs. McCoy will evaluate the possibility of delaying or closing school.
The morning of the weather event…
- Mrs. McCoy will drive our roads and have other staff report as to the road conditions.
- Mrs. McCoy will communicate with other local Superintendents and Southern State Community College to discuss road and weather conditions in their districts.

Communication of Delay or Closure

If a school delay or closure is warranted, the following times will be met for making the call:
- 5:00am will be our goal to make the call about a delay or closure.
- 5:30am will be the hard deadline for making the call.

NOTE: If we begin on a delay, and it is determined that we should then close, the announcement/communication will be made no later than 7am

If the decision is made to delay or close, the following communication will occur:
- A district-wide call will be sent to all those on our call list.
- A post will be made to the District’s Facebook page.
- Cincinnati TV and local radio stations will be notified.

Guidelines - 2-hour Delay

Guidelines - Cancellation

All school transportation is canceled.
ALL activities for the day, including practices, games and school functions, are also canceled. The only exception is if we are preparing for post season play.
Weekend activities will be monitored and the call will be made accordingly.

NOTE: After 7 snow days, student/staff should follow the Remote Learning Plan

The number one goal is for a safe commute to school for our students and staff.
