The snowstorm that blanketed the area last Friday and Saturday with three or more inches of snow may have been a warning shot for an updated inclement weather policy now in place at USD 365 in Garnett. School Board Members recently reviewed a new amendment to the District’s policy which will add a two-hour delayed start option during threatening weather. The policy specifies the delayed start may be used when temporary adverse conditions exist, including extreme wind chill conditions or unfavorable road conditions. Morning bus pick up times also delayed for the two hour period. Schools will end their day at the regular time and after school bus routes will operate on the normal schedule. There will be no preschool on delayed start days. Breakfast will not be served at school and no activity or athletic practices will be held before school on those days. Also all field trips scheduled to leave before noon will be cancelled for days when delayed start is announced.
