Inclement Weather Procedures | Moore Norman Technology Center

The superintendent is tasked with making necessary decisions regarding canceling classes and/or closing campuses during emergency circumstances. Such decisions will be based on all facts available at the time of the decision and will be announced on the school’s website (www.mntc.edu), official MNTC social media accounts, through the MNTC automated phone system, and on local news stations. Refer to Closing School, Policy No. 205

 

 

Prior to making a decision to cancel classes due to inclement weather, district administrators monitor and evaluate road and parking conditions, sidewalk accessibility, temperatures and precipitation amounts. Serious considerations are given to the following areas:
  • Safety of facilities (heat, air, power, parking lots, etc.)
  • Safety of transportation (road conditions on streets traveled by buses, timely route completion)
  • Ability of students who drive to navigate road conditions and parking lots
  • Ability of instructional and support staff to travel to campus and/or district offices
  • Ability to provide appropriate supervision and critical services such as food service for students
 
When inclement weather occurs or is in the forecast, district officials maintain close communication with the National Weather Service, Moore Public Schools, Norman Public Schools and city/county personnel. When campuses must be closed due to inclement weather, the following considerations are important:
  • District action to announce the decision to close/cancel classes as soon as possible
  • Reporting information to students, families, clients, faculty, staff and local news media
  • All days missed due to weather conditions will be made up as needed to meet the school year/program/class requirements
  • When winter conditions develop during a school day, classes are not dismissed early due to transportation schedules
  • As weather begins to deteriorate during a school day, parents/guardians wishing to release their student(s) may contact the Administrative Assistants in their program area.
