For this reason, your cooperation and understanding are appreciated. A two-hour late start announcement may be made the evening before or the morning of school if the forecast is for inclement weather. This is done to gain additional time to make a decision based on actual conditions. When a late start is announced, please continue to listen for future announcements. Should it become necessary to close during the school day, stations will be notified as soon as the decision is made so you know when to expect your child/children home.

THE POLAND SCHOOLS December 4, 2017 - Update
THE POLAND SCHOOLS December 4, 2017 - update To: All Personnel Re: Snow Delays/Closings From: David Janofa, Superintendent 1. With winter weather approaching, it is appropriate to review the districts’ policies and procedures in the event it is necessary to delay or close schools due to hazardous weather/road conditions. 2. Should the school district exceed the maximum numbers of calamity days per negotiated agreement, makeup days would be added at the end of the school year. The first makeup day would be Thursday, June 6 and additional days would be consecutively scheduled week days. Teacher report day would be the weekday following the last makeup day. 3. Decisions to delay or close schools will be made in most instances between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. Any change in the normal school schedule will be announced to staff, students, and the public through these methods: . TV Channels: 21, 27, 33, and 62 . Radio Stations: 570 AM-WKBN, 1390 AM-WNIO, 93.3 WNCD, 95.9 FM-WAKZ (KISS), 98.9 FM-WMXY, 106.1 FM-WBBG, 101 FM-HOT, and Y103 FM. http://www.poland.k12.oh.us/ or WKBN.com or WYFX.com or Polandbulldogs.com . “All Call” computerized phone notification to parents/employees 4. Should a delay be implemented, here are some important procedures to remember: A two hour delay means all schools simply start two hours later. Students’ hours for example would be: High School would start at 9:45 a.m. instead of 7:45 a.m. Middle School and McKinley Elem. would start at 10:35 a.m.

El año pasado, el costo de vida de los colombianos fue de 0,05%. Sin embargo, algunos estudios como el de Fedesarrollo, señalan que los analistas del mercado esperan un incremento en la denominada inación anualizada, la cual quedaría según estos expertos, en 4%.

History of Hancock Ciounty; Virginia and West Virginia
HISTORY of HANCOCK COUNTY • Virginia and West Virginia o Sacramento Branch Genealogical Library BY JACK WELCH FIRST PRINTING © Copyright, 1963, by Jack Welch All rights reserved under International and Pan-American Copyright Conventions. Published in Wheeling, West Virginia, by The Wheeling News Printing & Litho Co. orewor* The physical features of Hancock County can be described quickly and easily. It is the northernmost county in West Virginia, bounded on the north and west by the Ohio River, on the east by Pennsylvania, and on the south by Brooke County. It is the smallest county in West Virginia with 88.55 square miles. It has three muni cipalities (Chester, New Cumberland, Weirton), three magisterial districts (Butler, Clay, Grant), and 37 voting precincts. Its agri cultural and industrial products include iron, steel, chinaware, pottery, bricks, fire clay, sheet metal, tin products, apples, dairy foods, and livestock. Hancock County, like any other inhabited area of the world, is more than a tiny block of land furnishing a livelihood for several thousands of people. It is a land that is built upon the labor, the ideals, the lives, and the deaths of those who have gone before. It is a forest turned into a farm, a farm turned into a town, and a town turned into an industrial site employing thousands of people. It is a man chopping a tree in a virgin forest, it is a woman taking up a "fie to protect her family from Indians, it is a man building a school, it is a man building a factory. All these things are Hancock County, as much of a reality as the topographical and statistical elements.
