Emergency School Closings

(Policy & Regulation #8220)

The Superintendent may close school, delay the opening of school, or dismiss school early when such alteration in the regular session is required for the protection of the health and safety of students and staff members or other good cause (i.e. inclement weather). In the event of any delayed opening or emergency school closing, the District will make every effort to ensure timely notification of concerned persons.
