Channel 10: School Delays and Closures

School delays and closures are a common occurrence, especially during inclement weather. Channel 10 provides up-to-the-minute reporting on school closings and delays in our viewing area. We understand how disruptive these announcements can be to families, so we strive to provide accurate and timely information.

How We Report School Closings

Our dedicated news team works closely with local school districts to gather the most current information. This involves:

  • Direct Contact: We maintain direct lines of communication with school district officials.
  • Monitoring Official Sources: We constantly monitor official school district websites and social media channels.
  • Community Input: We encourage viewers to report school closures or delays to us via phone, email, or social media. However, we strongly recommend verifying information with official sources.

What to Do If Your School is Closed or Delayed

If your child's school is closed or delayed, it's crucial to:

  • Check Official Sources: Always verify the information on the school district's website or official communication channels.
  • Contact the School Directly: If you're unsure, contact the school directly to confirm.
  • Review Your School's Emergency Plan: Familiarize yourself with your school's procedures for closures and delays, including communication methods and alternative learning plans.
  • Plan Accordingly: Make alternative arrangements for childcare or supervision as needed.

Beyond the Weather

While weather is a frequent cause for school closures, other factors can lead to delays or cancellations, including:

  • Power Outages: Widespread power outages can make it unsafe to operate schools.
  • Emergency Situations: In the event of a local emergency, schools may be closed for safety reasons.
  • Staff Shortages: Unexpected staff shortages may sometimes necessitate school closures.
