Delay & Closing Information
The decision to delay or close school is one that we take very seriously. The district must take into account road and weather conditions, temperature and wind-chill factors, as well as the forecast. Typically, the decision to delay or close school is made by 5:30 a.m. However, there are occasions when changing weather and road conditions may necessitate a later decision.
