Determining When to Delay or Cancel School

You've maybe wondered how the decision is made to delay or cancel school due to weather conditions. While the decision rests with me, I only make it after consulting with several people (our own transportation and maintenance directors, bus drivers, other area superintendents), following current and forecasted weather conditions, and driving the main and side streets. I'll be the first to admit that it isn't a science, and that some have a greater or lesser degree of experience and comfort driving snow-packed roads (I grew up in Wisconsin where there's REAL winter!!). However, safety for all is our only concern. I hope you have a chance to enjoy the snow today and the rest of this week. Hang on...it looks as though we are in for a lot of it!
