Understanding Closure Procedures

In South Florida, the decision to close schools is typically made by the District Superintendent in coordination with the National Weather Service.

Condition Common Action
Tropical Storm/Hurricane Warning Schools usually close 24 hours before landfall to serve as community shelters.
Severe Flooding Decisions are often made early in the morning (by 5:00 AM) based on bus route safety.
Extreme Cold Schools rarely close for cold, but outdoor activities and morning “line-ups” may be moved indoors.
