JCS Families,
This morning, we got the call wrong, full stop. We know this is a big deal that impacted your schedules, your jobs, and our students. We will conduct an internal review of our processes and protocols to ensure this does not happen again. We are sorry and understand the weight of our responsibility to keep our students and staff safe.
This morning, our operations team was up, reviewing road temperatures and weather conditions, as they do on all days with the potential for bad weather. We have a diverse county geographically, which can make this tricky. This morning, road conditions appeared okay, and the weather did not look to be more than some light flakes.
Once our secondary students were on the bus, our drivers reported deteriorating road conditions. Many of our secondary students were already at school or close by, so the decision was made to keep them in the building and wait for the weather to clear this afternoon.
Elementary schools were cancelled to keep students off the road as it continued to snow.
We understand that none of this was a perfect solution; it was the best available at the time and under the circumstances.
We thank you for your efforts today to quickly change course with us and work to get our students safely to where they needed to be.
We will do better.
