Policy 5241 – Emergency School Closings

The Superintendent may order the delay of opening, early dismissal or the closing of schools due
to inclement weather, hazardous road conditions or specific emergency situations which would
make the operation of school impractical or hazardous to pupils. Notification of such actions
will be given over local radio and television stations. Unless individually approved by the
Superintendent, after-school activities will be canceled on the day which school is closed or
dismissed early due to weather or other emergency conditions.

Instructional time lost due to weather and other emergency conditions will be made up as
required by the State and as approved by the Board of Education.
