The responsibility of school closing has been delegated to the superintendent by the Board of Education.  If the schools are to be canceled because of weather conditions or other emergencies, the following stations will be notified:
                        WYMG/WQQL
                        WTAX/WDBR
                        WQLZ/WMAY/WNNS
                        WFMB/WCVS and TV NEWS CHANNEL 20
 
Cancellation of schools will be announced by 6:30 a.m. whenever possible.  If school is to be dismissed early in the day, the stations will be notified as soon as possible, and they will be asked to repeat the announcement several times.  Such an announcement means that the closing involves all District #8 schools. An individual building will not be named unless the emergency affects only that particular school.
