Delay & Closing Info - Centerville City Schools

A 2 hour delay

On a delay morning every school starts 2 hours late.

“The pick-up times for most bus riders will be scheduled two hours later than the normal schedule. This includes public school students in grades PreK-12 and all private/parochial school students.”
Delay schedule

5 built in snow days

On the 2026 to 2027 calendar, listed as “calamity days”.

“Centerville Schools will waive up to five calamity days without making them up. Any additional calamity days will be made up, with dates to be announced by the Superintendent's office.”

A snow day is a day off

Centerville closes rather than going remote.

“We have five calamity days built into our district calendar. If schools are closed for five days or less, students will not have remote learning.”

Making up a lost day

Days past the five waived calamity days are made up on dates the Superintendent's office announces.

The Ohio rule

How Ohio counts a lost day

Ohio requires hours, not days: 910 hours for full day kindergarten through grade 6, 1,001 hours for grades 7 to 12, 455 for half day kindergarten. Only hours that drop a school below the state minimum must be made up, by extending the school year.
