Severe Weather Preparedness & Response

Inclement Weather Procedures

Any time there is a concern for an inclement weather event, MISD uses the following protocol to help drive the decision-making process to alter the school day. The concern for student and staff safety always serves as the main driver when these decisions are made, and we always strive to err on the side of caution. Each weather incident is unique and will demand unique considerations.

We know that when we alter the school day, it has a significant impact on families. We also want to ensure that we are making decisions that minimize any negative impact on student learning. In other words, when there is no safety concern in getting to school, we want to make sure that our students are at school. This is the balance we constantly weigh when making school closure decisions.
