DELAYED OPENINGS

If it appears that road or weather conditions will be hazardous at the normal opening time of the school day, but are expected to improve, a delayed opening will be announced before 6:00 a.m. Delayed openings will postpone the opening of school by two (2) hours; i.e., schools will open two (2) hours after their normal starting times. A delayed school opening means bus schedules will be delayed by two (2) hours. For example, if a child's bus is scheduled to arrive at 8:00 a.m., the delay will change the bus arrival time to 10:00 a.m. When there is a delayed opening:
•All buses to private and parochial schools in the district will be delayed by two (2) hours.
•All out-of-district transportation will be cancelled.
•Morning prekindergarten classes shall be cancelled.
•Listed radio and TV stations will announce the delay.
•The Fire Department will issue one (1) blast followed by six (6) blasts, repeated three (3) times. A delayed opening is subject to change to an emergency school closing if the weather or road conditions remain hazardous.
