School Delays

School delays refer to instances when the opening time of schools is postponed due to various reasons, such as inclement weather (like snow or severe storms), emergencies, or other unexpected circumstances that make it unsafe or impractical for students and staff to arrive on time. These delays are typically communicated to parents, students, and staff via various channels, such as local news, school district websites, or automated notification systems. The purpose of a school delay is to ensure the safety of students and staff while allowing additional time for conditions to improve. Delays may vary in length, from a short adjustment of a couple of hours to a full cancellation, depending on the situation.
