“our team evaluates bus driver availability and overall safety, with the goal of making a decision by 5:30 A.M. to provide families with ample time for childcare arrangements or work notifications.”

How families hear

“In the event of a school closure, notifications will be shared promptly through our district website, social media channels, and local media outlets by 5:30 A.M.”

Remote learning days

Meridian has remote learning days in its winter plan.

“If the closures exceed the allocated eleven (11) hours or in cases of multiple days of emergency closures, the Board of Trustees empowers the Superintendent to transition a school(s) to remote instruction.”

The board may adjust the calendar once closures pass what remote instruction can cover.

“In situations where emergency closures surpass the hours that can be compensated through remote instruction, the Board of Trustees may adjust the school year calendar to fulfill Idaho Code 33-512 requirements for instructional hours.”
