Inclement Weather
 

Bad weather will require that school be closed only when hazardous road conditions exist. Since the Texas Education Agency (TEA) requires that all school days missed be made up through a revised school calendar, it is best to follow the original school calendar if possible.

Due to the TEA requirement mentioned above, the fact that weather conditions change rapidly, and the considerable time required in checking bus routes, it is sometimes necessary to make decisions to close school at the latest possible hour.

In order to reduce confusion regarding school closings, please follow these procedures:

bullet

1. Listen to the listed radio stations when in doubt about having school. When school is closed, the radio stations should make the an announcement at least one and a half hours prior to the normal beginning of the school day. If the announcement has not been heard at least one hour prior to the school day, it can be assumed that school will be open.

STATION DIAL LOCATION CITY

WBAP 820 Dallas/Fort Worth

KRLD 1080 Dallas

2. Television stations will be notified after the radio stations have been notified.

If you have any questions regarding this information, please feel free to contact Harrison Intermediate School at 972-429-3300.
