What is the procedure used in making the decision?
Although the process does not always ultimately result in a delay or closing, it always begins around 4:30 a.m. At that point, I am speaking with Kinnelon Police to determine if there are any problems. If necessary, the other agencies and personnel are included in the discussion. A decision to delay or close is made as soon as possible. In either case, the decision has to be made by 5:30 a.m. in order to insure that staff and students are notified in a timely manner. If it is obvious that current or future conditions are not safe school is closed. If it appears that more time is needed a 90 minute delay is implemented.
