Delayed Openings, Closings, Early Dismissal

The Superintendent or his designee will make all decisions regarding school closings, delayed openings, or delayed dismissal.  The superintendent will communicate this information to the media in accordance with established procedures.

 

Information on school closings or delayed openings will be communicated to radio and T.V. stations by 6:00 A.M. and posted on the Greenwood School District 50 web site. (Under certain conditions, a decision to delay or close may be made by 10:00 P.M. of the preceding evening.  Listen to your radio and T.V. for this information or check the district web site.  Please do not call schools or district personnel.)
