Emergency School Closing Procedure

ADM 12.4

If an emergency at the school necessitates a closing, the principal notifies the Superintendent and radio/television stations (if appropriate), and then activates the local school’s parent communication network.


Purpose:


  • To ensure that the emergency information is communicated to all members of the school community.


  • To allow schools to respond to critical situations in a timely manner.

Commentary/Procedural Points:


  • Each school establishes a network of communication which enables the school to contact all families in case of an emergency closing (e.g. Swift K-12, websites, voicemail). This policy should be published in the Parent/Student Handbook.
