Lion Nation, The weather, or at least the forecast, has not been our friend lately with it seeming like every week, there’s another snow day. While we hope that spring comes sooner rather than later to put an end to these unplanned class cancellations, history shows that we’re probably not finished with the winter weather.
“Are classes canceled?” is a question that Northwest administrators hear any time meteorologists predict winter weather or winter weather occurs. Social media, the Administrative Center, and all of the school offices are inundated with messages asking the question. Undoubtedly, the answer will disappoint someone, whether it is a parent or student, wondering why classes are canceled or not. Northwest Superintendent Dr. Desi Kirchhofer is the person to make the final decision, but he is not the only person with input. Kirchhofer explained the process of deciding to cancel classes or not, and that it is more than just looking outside and seeing snow on the road.
