Greenwood Community Schools School Closing Information Bad weather or power failure may result in closing schools within the Greenwood Community School Corporation. The decision to close schools is based upon reports from school administrators, the Police Department and city street officials. Historically, the compactness of the school corporation and the efficiency of the street department have permitted Greenwood Schools to remain open while other corporations have been forced to close. Announcements concerning school closing will normally be made no later than 6:00 AM with the information sent to the following TV and radio stations: • Channel 6 • Channel 8 • Channel 13 • FOX 59 • WTTS (92.3 FM) • WZPL (99.5 FM) • WCBK (102.3 FM) • WEDJ (107.1 FM, Radio Latina) • WNTR (107.9 FM) • WSYW (810 AM, LaQue Buena) • WXNT (1430 AM) Patrons are asked not to call offices and homes of school officials. These phones must be kept open to receive and send information on road conditions and communication with other officials. The decision concerning a child attending school has always rested with parents when it relates to illness or safety. If parents are concerned about bus transportation, they may transport their children themselves. Parents should also be sure their children are dressed according to existing weather conditions. Double and triple bus runs in the Greenwood Community School Corporation plus the complexities of vocational and special education transportation make late starts and early dismissals very difficult. However, parents are asked to have an emergency arrangement for their children in the even that a late start or early dismissal is required. .
