Students woke up this morning to a snow covered ground, questioning if there would be school today.

Now that we see a weather change going on, calls have been pouring in on whether based on exactly who makes the call on whether or not school will be in session.

According to Mr. Carricato, Central high school’s activities director, “It is not about how much snow is on the ground but how the roads look as far as how icy they are.

Although we all have our opinions, the Director of Transportation will set out to check the roads by 4:00 o’clock in the morning. By 4:30, the Superintendent will then receive recommendation and make the decision.

Prior to 5:00am, the Superintendent will initiate the emergency call system.

All other activities will also be up to the superintendent on whether they will be canceled as well.

Mrs. Odell, a teacher of Central High, believes that it is very important that District 60 gets the days off that are needed.

Odell said, “When bad snow days are not canceled, our attendance drops tremendously. Which means that there is not enough learning going on.”

As far as delayed start goes, all staff members must report to work at the normal assigned time unless told otherwise, while Students will report 2 hours later than regular time.

Teachers and staff are responsible to call the Supervisor if the weather conditions prohibit reporting on time.

On the other hand, Breakfast Servers are not to show up for work on these days.

Carricato said, “We do not have much to worry about here in Pueblo. We have not had a bad snow storm in years.”

There have been complaints about not having enough snow days in District 60. 

A student at Central High School, by the name of Tori Cervi, said “We need more days off due to weather, especially when District 70 has it off.

After the snow came down, students wonder if there will be school today.
