Once again the prospect of inclement weather is upon us.
A decision to cancel school transportation and/or to close schools is usually made by 6:00 a.m. and will be announced on radio and television stations. The greatest confusion occurs when announcements affect transportation for certain geographic areas.
If the announcement says:
"THE DUFFERIN-PEEL CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD AND THE PEEL DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD BUSES ARE CANCELLED" This means that ALL transportation services provided by the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board including buses and vans have been cancelled for the entire day.
If the announcement says:
"THE SCHOOL AND OFFICES OF BOTH THE DUFFERIN-PEEL CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD AND THE PEEL DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD ARE CLOSED." This means that ALL Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board schools and offices are closed to all staff and students.
If the announcement says:
"THE DUFFERIN-PEEL CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARDS BUSES AND THE PEEL DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD BUSES IN THE TOWN OF CALEDON AND COUNTY OF DUFFERIN ARE CANCELLED. This means that ONLY BUS #10 is cancelled.
