When the call comes

“Since our first buses leave the lot at around 6:15 a.m., we try to make the decision as early as possible, typically by 5:30 or 5:45 a.m., but each weather circumstance is unique.”

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.
