School Delays & Cancellations:

Below is information about delays, cancellations, and early releases due to snow, icy roads, other inclement weather conditions, and emergencies.

The decision to delay, cancel, or release students early is taken very seriously. As early as 4:00 AM staff from our Operations Department is on the road determining whether roads are clear enough to provide safe travel. In addition to our district road safety team, Clovis Schools consults with our school bus contractor, Adair, Inc. Once a determination is made, a recommendation for a delay or closure is communicated to the Superintendent of Schools. The Superintendent makes the final decision regarding a delay or cancellation.
