Q: How is the decision made to cancel school due to inclement weather such as snow or ice?

Before making the decision to delay or cancel school due to weather, we rely on critical input from a variety of sources from both district and outside agencies. Throughout the day and night we consult with the Transportation Department about road conditions throughout Christian County.

Q: When is the decision made to cancel school?

In the event that we cancel or delay school (this can include early dismissal) the CCPS Communications Department is contacted immediately and information is disseminated to the public.

Q: How will the public be informed of the decision?

The CCPS Communications Department works diligently to notify the community of changes in the regular school schedules:

·         WHOP, WKDZ and the Kentucky New Era

·         News Channel 2, 4 5 and Fox 17 TV stations

·         Infinite Campus Message calls are sent to parents/guardians and staff members.

·         www.christian.kyschools.us and you can sign up for text messages through the website using the “Notify Me” link

·         Stay updated through the district’s Facebook & Twitter pages: Christian County Public Schools.

·         Lastly, the public may call the district’s school closing hotline at (270) 707-1900
