The safety of students is the foremost consideration when evaluating if school should be canceled. There are several variables in the final decision. They include:
- An early morning report from our Director of Facilities and Operations on road conditions in Williamston
- Input from law enforcement, the road commission, and staff from neighboring districts
- Consultation with Superintendents from other Ingham County Districts
If the temperature is 20 degrees or more below zero (with or without wind chill), school will be automatically canceled.
