This is their policy: the head of the school plus the division heads and the director of the grounds crew calls our meteorologist consultant (many school’s pay to get very specialized and by the minute forecasts and don’t depend on the CWG or the Accuweather app) to get a forecast. Then the HOS gets on a conference call with many of our peer HOS and they all discuss what they think they’re going to do. After that HOS, heads of each school division, head of grounds crew add the communication director make a final decision and an email/text is sent

So usually there are at least 3 phone calls starting at 4:30am. I imagine all the big schools do something similar.

This is a ridiculous waste of time and money when they can just follow the most appropriate county.

100%. As a teacher I would be pissed to learn my school paid for a private weather consultant for the two times a year max that it snows when you can get the same info on the local news.

Schools have meteorologist consultants?! If true, that’s insane. It’s not that hard to make a call.
