Common School Delay & Closure Terms

When viewing the KRDO list, you may see different types of status updates. Here is a quick guide to what they mean for your family:

Status	Details
Closed	All classes and school activities are canceled. This usually includes after-school sports and community meetings.
2-Hour Delay	School starts exactly 2 hours after the normal time. Bus routes also run 2 hours late. Morning preschool is often canceled during delays.
Remote Learning Day	Physical buildings are closed, but students are expected to log in and attend classes online.
Early Release	Used when weather worsens during the day. Students are sent home early; check the specific time listed on the KRDO ticker.

The “Stormtracker” Decision Process

KRDO’s Stormtracker weather team provides local superintendents with specialized forecasts. Decisions are usually finalized before the first buses begin their routes. Factors include:

Wind Chill: If temperatures are low enough to cause frostbite in minutes, schools will close even if roads are clear.
Road Conditions: Monitoring “black ice” and snow accumulation on side streets that buses must navigate.
Visibility: Heavy blowing snow can lead to closures even with minimal accumulation.
