Understanding Closure Procedures

In Oklahoma, the decision to close schools is typically made by 6:00 AM to give parents enough time to arrange childcare.

Label	Meaning for Families
Closed	No classes; district offices are typically closed as well.
2-Hour Delay	School and buses run exactly two hours behind the standard schedule.
Virtual Learning Day	Physical buildings are closed, but instruction continues online via platforms like Canvas or Google Classroom.
No PM Activities	School dismisses at the normal time, but all sports and evening events are canceled.

Safety First: The Three Principles

According to local districts like Tulsa Public Schools, weather decisions are guided by three core questions:

Transportation: Can buses safely navigate neighborhood streets and rural routes?
Infrastructure: Are school heating and water systems fully functional during extreme cold?
Pedestrian Safety: Are sidewalks and crosswalks clear for students who walk to school?
