Snow/Ice: Is School Open or Closed? Birdville ISD is dedicated to the safety of students and staff. With the onset of winter, and the threat of snow and ice, it is important for the BISD community to understand how the decision is made regarding delaying or closing school. When the threat of snow or ice is forecast, BISD’s superintendent, associate superintendents and the director of transportation have established a plan to determine whether schools will be open, delayed or closed. The district attempts to make a decision about delaying or closing as soon as possible. If the superintendent determines to delay or close school, the district’s phone calling system will be activated and the major radio and television stations will be notified. Also, the district will post this information on the district’s Web site, Facebook, Twitter and B-News. BISD only posts these notifications if school is delayed or closed— not if it is open as usual. If school is in session or if it is delayed and parents do not feel that it is safe to transport their child to school, it is their right as parents to keep them home. If students do not provide a parent note, their absence will not be excused. Please see page 2 for a listing of radio and television stations BISD contacts if the opening of school is delayed or school is closed.
