How does the district decide to cancel school because of inclement weather?
— Closing school due to inclement weather is one of the most difficult decisions a superintendent makes, involving the educational needs of the students, family childcare arrangements, and transportation safety. Before making the decision, Superintendent Marlin Berry receives data from district employees about the weather conditions across the 75 square miles of the district, in an attempt to gather the most reliable information possible. He also receives a professional weather service report by 4:30 a.m.
