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

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.
