What is the school’s inclement weather policy in case of snow or other similar weather conditions?
A, The Baltimore City Public School System recognizes that winter snow, ice, or other weather conditions can make it unsafe for students, parents, and staff to travel to and from school. The following procedure will be used on school days when weather conditions warrant. The Baltimore City Public School System’s (BCPSS) Department of Facilities, in conjunction with the City’s Department of Transportation and the Mass Transit Administration, will complete a preliminary assessment of the situation by 4:30 a.m. After considering this assessment, and the latest weather forecasts, the BCPSS Chief Executive Officer will decide whether to open schools on schedule, delay opening by two hours, or cancel school for the day. This decision will be announced to local television and radio stations and posted on the BCPSS website by 5:00 a.m. School officials may decide to delay the opening of schools by two hours if travel conditions are potentially unsafe at 5:00 a.m. but are expected to improve du
