In the event it becomes necessary to delay the start of the school day, the Superintendent will notify the radio stations that Plan B is in effect. When Plan B goes into effect, bus routes begin their routes one hour later. Band programs will not operate when Plan B is in effect.

In the event it becomes necessary to close the schools before the end of the school day, announcements will be broadcast whenever possible. In the event of the early dismissal, students will be dismissed to their usual destination unless the school is advised otherwise. Parents/guardians should make arrangements to have a specific place for their child to go should they not be home when these emergencies arise.
