However, some students may still be at the school. It is the responsibility of the Limestone District School Board to ensure the safety of our students until arrangements can be made for them to be picked up. Principals will arrange for staff to be at the school to supervise students in attendance. Caretakers will be at the school to make sure that heat, lights and other services are available. Closing the entire school system is a very serious matter which would require a significant set of circumstances.
Schools remain OPEN even though transportation services have been cancelled .
Cancellation of transportation services does not always affect these students. With due regard to the safety of our staff and students, those who can make their way to school are asked to do so, unless otherwise informed. Principals, caretakers, clerical staff and teaching staff all play significant roles during times of inclement weather. The safety and maintenance of the building, the communication in and out of each school and the proper supervision and education of our children, all are key considerations in any decisions made about inclement weather situation. Once again, decisions about sending students home early because of inclement weather are a collaborative effort among Principals, bus drivers, the Manager of Tri-Board Transportation and his staff, and the Director of Education or designated staff person.
