Current School Closings and Delays Status

How to Stay Updated with KJRH

KJRH provides multiple platforms to check the latest “2 News Works for You” closing list. Superintendents typically update their status between 5:00 AM and 6:30 AM.

  1. The KJRH Closing Dashboard: The most comprehensive way to see every district is through the KJRH School Closings Page.

  2. Mobile App Alerts: Download the KJRH 2 News Oklahoma app. You can set personalized alerts for your specific school district to receive a push notification the moment a closing is announced.

  3. On-Air Ticker: During 2 News Oklahoma Morning (starting at 4:30 AM), a rolling ticker at the bottom of the screen lists all active closings, delays, and remote learning shifts in alphabetical order.

Understanding the Terms

When a school appears on the KJRH list, it will usually be marked with one of the following designations:

Status Details
Closed No classes; district offices are typically closed as well.
Remote Learning The physical school building is closed, but students are expected to log in for virtual instruction.
2-Hour Delay Classes and bus routes begin exactly two hours later than the standard start time.
Early Dismissal Used when weather moves in mid-day; schools will send students home early to beat the storm.

Safety First: The Decision Process

The decision to close a school in Oklahoma is not taken lightly. Tulsa-area superintendents work with the KJRH 2 News weather team to evaluate:

  • Wind Chill: If temperatures reach a level where frostbite can occur in under 30 minutes, schools often delay or close for walkers.

  • Road Inspections: District officials often drive bus routes at 4:00 AM to check for “black ice” on rural roads.

  • Facility Readiness: Ensuring that school boilers and heating systems are functioning correctly in extreme cold.

KJRH-TV, virtual channel 2, is an NBC-affiliated television station licensed to Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States. The station is owned by the E. W. Scripps Company.-Wikipedia
