Lake Shore superintendent outlines school-closing protocol, promises earlier notice
Summary
Superintendent Dr. DiPonio reviewed the district's approach to weather-related closings — weighing safe travel, safe pathways and temperature — and said officials will "always try to make the call the night before."
Dr. DiPonio reviewed Lake Shore Public Schools’ process for deciding school closings and late starts, saying the district balances safe travel, safe pathways and temperature when making determinations. "We will always try to make the call the night before," he said, and added there is no perfect solution for every situation.
Board member Elizabeth Munger said she favors making closing decisions earlier to give families notice; Amy Thomas-August said she appreciates social-media postings because School Messenger messages can be missed. The superintendent reiterated that the district aims to minimize disruption to after-school activities when safety allows.
