Understanding Wabash Valley Weather Policies

Local superintendents, including those at Vigo County School Corp (VCSC), follow specific guidelines before making “the call.” Decisions are typically announced by 6:30 AM.

Condition	Threshold for Delay/Closing
Wind Chill	Consistently colder than -20°F usually results in a delay or closure.
Air Temp	If temperatures are -10°F or colder at 6:30 AM, a 2-hour delay is considered to ensure bus engines can start.
Snow/Ice	Transportation directors drive “test routes” at 4:30 AM to check for traction and visibility.

e-Learning vs. Snow Days

In Indiana, many districts now use e-Learning Days for the first few inclement weather events of the year. This allows students to complete assignments at home via Google Classroom or Canvas, preventing the need to add “make-up days” to the end of the school year in June.
