Home pick-ups for special education students may not be possible because of time, home location, weather, or traffice. Parents of these children may phone the Special Education Dispatcher for information. Buses are equipped with tire chains. Bus drivers are trained to use their best judgment when tire chains are required due to varying weather conditions. In severe conditions, tire chains may be required on all buses.
Weather conditions vary throughout the school district.
On days when school is closed or delayed, the district receives a tremendous number of phone calls from parents and community members questioning the decision. It is important to keep in mind that the safety of all students is important and schools may be closed or delayed because of severe weather conditions in one or two areas of the district. Sometimes school remains open on days when there is snow on the ground.
