Additionally, Academy District 20 consults local forecasts, the National Weather Service, Skyview Weather, and more for the most current and localized forecasts. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Operations & Transportation \u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>While road conditions are being checked, Academy District 20’s facilities teams clear snow at schools and ensure buildings are operational (heat, electrical, water, snow cleared). The transportation department works to keep buses on schedule, though some may run late if roads are slick or snow-packed, and mechanical issues may arise in very cold or icy conditions. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Decision & Communication \u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>In factoring in the forecast and potential impact on operations, Academy District 20 will make every effort to notify families about a potential decision the night before. Should a decision be made the night before, the District will make every effort to issue communication by 9 p.m. Should a decision not be made the night before, a recommendation is made to the Superintendent around 5 a.m. to either maintain a regular schedule, implement a two-hour delayed start, or close. If additional plowing, sanding, clearing, or improvement in the forecast is anticipated, a two-hour delayed start may be announced. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A two-hour delay or closure is communicated via texts\u002Femails to families and posted on the District website, social media, and local news stations before 5:30 a.m. As weather conditions are volatile and can change quickly, a delayed start may turn into a closure. Any changes will be communicated by 7 a.m. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Family Considerations \u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>Please remind students to dress appropriately for the weather. Academy District 20 will not penalize students if parents\u002Fguardians decide to keep them home on inclement weather days.
