Information Regarding Weather Delays or Cancellations

Since the snow and ice season is upon us, this is just a reminder that you can tune to the following media to receive up-to-the-minute school closing and delay information for Peters Township School District:

Channel 19 (Adelphia Cable only)
KDKA TV (Channel 2)
WTAE TV (Channel 4)
WPXI TV (Channel 11)
WJPA Radio (95.3 FM &1450 AM)
KDKA Radio (1020 AM)
PTSD Web Site (www.ptsd.k12.pa.us)

How the decision is made to cancel or delay school:

When inclement weather strikes the area, the Superintendent contacts our Supervisor of Buildings, Grounds and Transportation to get updates on weather and road conditions. Our Supervisor is, in turn, in contact with local police and road crews who pass along road condition updates to the district.

The Superintendent gathers up-to-date information about road conditions and the weather forecast, then makes a decision on whether to close or delay school based on that information. The district makes every effort to reach its decision to delay or cancel by 6 a.m., before buses start out for their first run (high school students). Although the district makes every attempt to make a timely decision, Mother Nature is not always cooperative.
