Detailed Snow Route Information

Inclement Weather Action Protocol

Transportation staff will plan to review road conditions when weather forecasts or first-hand observations indicate the onset of inclement conditions.  If no forecast or observations of possible poor conditions exist, transportation staff will not initiate an early review of roads.  If forecast or observations exist by the prior evening, the following process will be initiated:

The Superintendent will make final decisions for all school closures. 

1) Near 3:00 am Welches area transportation staff will call the transportation supervisor to report initial conditions in the area.

2) By 3:30 am, designated transportation staff will drive roads in different regions, including; Government Camp, Lolo Pass, Shorty’s Corner, Wildcat Mt., Bull Run Road, Ten Eyck Road, Marmot Road, and Boring.  Drivers will report conditions to the transportation supervisor.

3) By 4:00 am transportation supervisor will make the first report to the Superintendent regarding road conditions and recommendations.

4) By 5:00 am transportation supervisor will provide a final update to the Superintendent prior to any closure action decision.

5) Near 5:00 am Superintendent will make an initial call to delay or close schools.  Superintendent will contact the communications director, who will, in turn, report the decision to the media, parents, and staff.

• If it appears clear conditions are progressively deteriorating, schools will likely be closed.
• If there is a possibility of improvement, K-8 schools will likely be on a two-hour late start, and Sandy High will be on a one-hour late start virtual schedule.
• Snow routes will be designated as recommended by the transportation supervisor.
• When appropriate, specific buildings rather than the entire district will have a late start, be closed and/or put on snow routes.

The superintendent or director designee will directly contact school administration regarding closures.  Official closure notice will not come from transportation or other individuals.

6) By 7:00 am, if a late start was called, the transportation supervisor will provide an additional update to the Superintendent, who will make a final decision on whether to close schools, notify staff and parents, and report to media as outlined previously.

Once students have been delivered to school, we intend to retain them for the entire school day if at all reasonable. Assembling drivers and notifying parents to make mid-day student delivery is very difficult. Nonetheless, on occasion, deteriorating conditions may require early dismissal.  In this case, the road assessment process will be similar to that described previously, with the decision communicated in the same manner.

When a closure is made, it will include a mixture of the following options. Communications to staff and parents will indicate which options are involved.

Closure options prior to receiving students for the day may be:

• Closed
• (___) School closed
• K-8 schools 2 hours late
• Sandy High, 1 hour late with virtual classes
• BLAP, regular schedule with virtual classes
• Community Connections, 2 hours late
•  (___) School 2 hours late
• No AM Headstart
• No after school or evening activities
• All district closed ___hours early or closed at ___ PM.
• (___) School closed ___ hours early or closed at ____ PM.

Transportation options may include:

* All buses on regular routes
* AM & PM buses on snow routes (if the entire district closes early for snow or ice, this will always be the case)
* Specific buses on snow routes
* Specific bus routes not run

If Welches School is closed and Sandy High School is open, Mt. Hood Area high school students will be picked up at the Hoodland Thriftway parking lot at 7:50 am.
