Understanding Different Schedule Changes

Districts often use specific terminology to describe how they are handling inclement weather:

Term	What it Means for You
2-Hour Delay	School starts two hours later than normal. Bus pickup times are also pushed back by two hours.
Virtual/Digital Learning	The physical school building is closed, but students are expected to log in and complete assignments from home.
Closed	All classes and school activities are canceled. This usually includes after-school sports and clubs.

How the Decision is Made

Superintendents typically make the “call” by 5:30 AM. They rely on Severe Weather Team 2 meteorologists and local transportation directors who scout the roads in the early morning hours. Even if your street looks clear, a delay might be called if “black ice” is detected on higher-elevation backroads or if temperatures are low enough to cause bus mechanical failures.
