Oak Creek Franklin Joint School District Walks Back Snow Day

OAK CREEK, WI— Students in the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District can kiss their snow days goodbye.

Monday, the School Board voted to use remote learning as a fall back when severe weather leads to school cancelations. The Superintendent highlighted that the updated policy wouldn’t mean every instance of severe weather would lead to remote learning.

When weather impacts school closure, students and staff may need to make up the school day in the Summer.

In order to avoid school closure and having to make up the school day, the Oak Creek-Franklin School District voted unanimously to update their policy and implement remote learning instead of closing schools.

Staff and students would follow the synchronous remote learning schedule. The remote attendance policy would be employed.

The Board stressed the switch to remote learning would only be possible in events with ample notification.
