A Month of Wind and Phone Calls

The last month for Community Education has generated some amazing statistics. Never before in our history have we had so many closures, cancellations, and phone calls made in one quarter. After talking with other schools around the region, it seems these stats could apply to them as well.

Because of bad weather and wind-related power outages we had:

• 3 Snow days
• 2 Early Closures because of power outages
• Made over 500 weather related calls to students
• Re-scheduled 26 classes... 11 twice due to multiple closures

In the end, we only cancelled 2 classes because of the weather. A tribuate to staff and to the flexibility of all you out there who take our classes.
