Inclement Weather procedures

Balancing safety and the need to provide learning

The decision whether or not to close schools due to weather conditions is ultimately the responsibility of the Superintendent who must balance the safety of students, staff and parents with the need to provide learning. The decision is not taken lightly and is the result of a carefully thought out process which is reviewed after each experience and refined if necessary.

The decision is made by 6:00 a.m. Details are posted on the School District website (www.sd42.ca) and are shared with All News 1130 and CKNW radio stations.
