Parents/Guardians,
We have had several occasions where we have closed school or released early for weather-related issues. I would like to review the options for how the school district deals with these issues.
These options are as follows:
1. Close all schools for the entire day.
2. Release all early. (1:30 p.m. for all buildings)
3. Start all schools late. (9:45 a.m. for all buildings)
***There may be emergency situations that would dictate that we close just one school in the District.
Some other criterion for closing schools for the entire day are below:
1. Sustained wind chills measuring - 30 degrees.
2. Heavy snow and windy conditions.
3. Extreme icy conditions.
4. Heavy fog that is not supposed to break.
5. Combination of the above criterion.
Some of the criterion for releasing early:
1. Sustained temperatures above 94 degrees with accompanying humidity above 55%.
2. Dangerous storms heading our direction. (This may cause us to shelter-in-place as well.)
3. Other emergency situations.
Some of the criterion for starting school late:
1. Heavy fog that is expected to lift.
2. Icy conditions that are expected to get better.
3. Severe cold that is expected to get better.
4. Moderate snow that is expected to be cleared.
5. Combination of the above conditions.
We now have three options to deal with weather-related issues. It is my intention to announce these decisions as early as possible (preferable the night before). If we release early, we will release all schools at 1:30 p.m.. If we start late, we will begin school at 9:45 a.m. for all schools. (The late start is a new option, so please plan accordingly.) As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you for your help in making the Herscher School District the best in the area!
Dr. Richard S. Decman, Superintendent of Schools
