How is the decision made to close schools?
The decision to close schools is always a difficult one and regardless of the outcome it is always debated afterwards. The board administration is very aware of the factors involved in either keeping the schools open or closing them. Countless individuals have children, friends and family members involved in the operation of the schools throughout the county and any decision is carefully weighed before it is made. Precisely because the weather conditions can vary drastically across the board the decision to drive to school on days where there are extreme weather conditions is left up to the individual teacher.
