Weather-related Procedures
School Closing Due to Inclement
Weather
If schools are closed for the day
or dismissed early due to inclement weather, all games, events
and practices will be cancelled.
Rain
A decision to play or cancel due to rain
will be made by the school. Contact the school directly.
Snow/Ice - Afternoon
If snow or ice arrives before
2 p.m., a decision to play or cancel will be made by the
Central Office based on weather reports from our Transportation
Department. Your school will be notified as soon as possible.
Snow/Ice - Evening
If snow or ice arrives in the
late afternoon or evening, the Administrator on duty will make
the final decision.
- If a snow emergency plan
goes into effect prior to the game or practice, it is
cancelled.
- If a snow emergency plan
goes into effect after the start of a game or practice, the
event may be completed.
Snow/Ice - Saturday/Non-School Day
If a snow emergency plan is in
effect at 7 a.m. on Saturday or on a day schools are schedule to
be closed for instruction, all games, events, and practices that
are scheduled for a Howard County school will be postponed until
the 11 a.m. recorded announcement.
If a snow emergency plan goes
into effect before the practice or game, the game must be
cancelled.
Please use common sense before
sending participants and spectators home.
If a snow emergency plan goes
into effect after the start of the game or practice, it may be
completed.
If a team or student group is
involved in an event outside of Howard County:
- They may depart for the
event after the emergency plan is lifted.
- They may not travel through
a county that has a snow emergency plan in effect.
When a team is on an overnight
trip, they may compete unless travel is involved and a snow
emergency is in effect at their location.
Regional/State Events
If a regional or state event is
involved, a special decision will be made by our Superintendent
in conjunction with the MPSSAA.
