April 3rd, 2024 Cleveland, Ohio – The increased amount of severe weather makes it tough on parents as they try to prepare their kids for what may happen. With the recent severe weather, it’s important for parents to talk to their children about it. That conversation likely changes depending on how old they are, but in many cases, it’s important for them to know what the plan is if severe weather strikes.
Meanwhile, school districts are now faced with a decision on whether they should cancel classes, delay the start or dismiss early. Kenna Haycox with the Ohio School Boards Association said school boards adopt a policy that leaves it up to the superintendent to make the decision for closures or early release. The superintendent then works with their local emergency management team to determine what to do.
