Delays and Closures

The Transportation Department has an important role in determining the status of schools on inclement weather days.

The following factors are considered when determining delays or closures:

• Safety of roads specific to bus transportation
• Safety of schools' facilities (appropriate heat, cleared lots, etc.)
• Safety of students traveling to designated bus stops
• Safety of students in 'non-transported' areas where students either walk or are transported by parents

DOWNED TREES AND POWER LINES MAKE SCHOOL BUS ROUTES HAZARDOUS!
