School Cancellation Process, 2025 - 2026

The safety of students is the foremost consideration when evaluating if school should be canceled. There are several variables that inform the final decision.

1. An early morning report from our Director of Facilities and Operations on road conditions 

2. Input from law enforcement, the road commission, and/or staff from neighboring districts

3. Consultation with Superintendents from other Ingham County Districts

4. Forecasted weather conditions for the remainder of the day

If the temperature is sustained 20 degrees or more below zero (with or without wind chill), school will be automatically canceled.
